Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education that there is no standard hourly rate in the Ongoing Resourcing Scheme (ORS). ORS provides a package of support at two levels; Very High ORS and High ORS. There are four components of the ORS; teacher aide, specialist teacher, specialist and consumables. Each component is funded and paid differently.
