   The over arching policy objective of the Entitlement Framework is to guarantee all post primary pupils aged 14 and above greater choice and flexibility by providing them with access to a wide range of learning opportunities. It aims to provide pupils with a broad and balanced curriculum to enable them to reach their full potential no matter which school they attend or where they live.
It will guarantee all pupils access to a minimum number of courses at Key Stage 4 and post-16, of which at least one third must be general and one third applied.

3. What is our obligation to the EF in Fleming Fulton?
The situation for special schools has not been finalised. Department of Education has said that:
"while we want to see the Special Sector engaged in the EF and the pupils therein to have access to opportunities and choice in the same way as pupils in mainstream schools, it is vital that this is done in a way relevant to the needs of these pupils.
Our message has been 'work with other schools and providers to put in place provision that is appropriate for your pupils'.
We are determined that EF policy must not work against this principle, which is why we have not finalised policy until it has been thoroughly discussed and tested within the sector“ (CCEA “Recognising the achievements of learners with special educational needs- pilot scheme”)
DE officials have said "only you can decide what is appropriate for your pupils".
