355 special classes to be provided in County Cork – Increase of 14% in the year on year provision for the County. 

The National Council for Special Education (NCSE) recently published the list of special classes available in Primary and Post Primary schools across County Cork. The list provides important information to assist parents in supporting their child’s education.

Speaking on the publication of the list Lorraine Egan, Regional Manager, South Western Region, of the NCSE, said:

“This is a vitally important resource for parents in County Cork. Many parents have anxieties about their child’s education and how they will cope but this is especially true for parents of children with Special Educational needs.  While many of these special classes will be fully or nearly fully subscribed at this time, we want to increase awareness of the options in County Cork to ensure that children with Special Educational needs receive an education that enables them to achieve their potential. The list underlines the NCSE’s commitment to providing inclusive, responsive and appropriate education for children in the county. The NCSE would like to thank all the schools who have responded positively to the local SENOs request to establish additional special classes for the forthcoming year.”

A full list of all classes can be found at https://ncse.ie/special-classes and any parent with questions is encouraged to visit NCSE.ie or contact their local SENO for further advice and supports including information on new special classes opening in 2022 or beyond.
