Edge says changes will have to go before Tynwald
The education minister has admitted there are ‘challenges’ in ensuring people receive support for their additional educational needs.
Julie Edge has responded to criticism from some Tynwald members that parents can’t access help at primary and secondary school levels.
She’s confirmed changes to funding will have to go before Tynwald.
