Anna Lo speaks on the Special Educational Needs Review in the Assembly
20/05/09
Anna Lo MLA has spoken on the Special Educational Needs Review in the Northern Ireland Assembly. Speaking on Tuesday 19th May Anna said;"We in the Alliance Party are disappointed that the review is stuck in the Executive like so many other major policies that have been held up because the two main parties cannot reach a collective decision for the good of the whole community."
"It is shameful that there is a budget to implement the recommendations, yet, months after their scheduled publication, we are still arguing about them. We must bear in mind that the delay in publishing the review is unhelpful to our children’s development and detrimental to their progress. Like other Members, I urge the two major parties to agree on the publication of the consultation document so that we and the public can debate the matter and make a decision on it."
"Currently, the strategy is very reactive. I would like to see a more strategic use of limited resources."
