There is to be an independent, external review of how the Education Authority (EA) supports children with special educational needs (SEN).
The Department of Education (DE) has not given a timescale for the review but said it would begin "as soon as possible."
MLAs also heard that public confidence in the EA had been "totally shattered".
The Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report is the most recent of a number of damning reports into how the EA has failed to support some children with SEN.
