Amendment to process for allocating SET hours to schools resulting from the Projected Enrolment process 2023/24
- Published: 09 March 2023
The DE has issued a briefing note on the revisions to the allocation of Special Education Teaching (SET) hours arising from the Projected Enrolment Post process.
These revisions are being implemented with immediate effect for the 2023/2024 school year. They are designed to address concerns raised where schools were provisionally allocated mainstream posts based on the projected enrolment application ahead of the start of a school year, while the SET hours arising from the process were not available to schools until November.
The changes outlined in the briefing note fully aligns the SET hours applicable to the projected enrolment posts with the projected enrolment post process. Schools will be advised in a single correspondence including both the temporary Projected Enrolment Posts allocated and the temporary SET Hours, pending confirmation of the final enrolments at the end of September.
Please note: SET hours will be removed from schools at the end of October, where enrolments do not materialise in line with what presently occurs for the mainstream enrolment posts in such cases.
