Episode Details

Ireland’s Department of Education has unveiled a bold new plan to overhaul the 2004 Education for Persons with Special Educational Needs Act, turning years of review into actionable change. With 51 key recommendations aimed at boosting inclusive education—from assessments and language to curriculum and school transitions—the plan seeks to ensure every child gets the support they need. Advocacy groups applaud the move toward international standards but caution that critical supports like student plans and independent mediation remain unaddressed. Minister Hildegarde Naughton emphasizes collaboration across government, schools, families, and stakeholders, backed by a new oversight group to track progress. This is more than policy—it’s a commitment to building an education system where every child can truly thrive.
