Home Based Summer Programme
- Published: 11 May 2023
The DE has now published details of the Home Based Summer Programme. This year, the DE is providing an online portal to allow schools to submit a student’s details and confirm eligibility. A sanction email will issue to the parents and school to confirm eligibility and the hours allocated to the student. The link for the Online Sanctioning Portal will be circulated to schools by email and the Portal will remain open until Friday 9 June 2023.
What’s New?
- A teacher can deliver a programme for students in a group of up to three. Parents may enter into an arrangement with a registered teacher to tutor their child in a small group, up to a maximum of 3 children
- For groups of 4 or larger, the Department will continue to approve Private Group Provider Arrangements between parents and private providers as it has done in previous years. The terms and conditions of Private Group Provider Arrangements must be followed.
- Additionally, allocations to siblings will no longer be a shared allocation. Each student will be sanctioned on an individual basis.
