Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail how the £5m of additional funding for special educational needs received in the November monitoring round will be spent.

Answer:

I have allocated the additional £5m, which I secured as part of the November monitoring round, to the Education Authority via their block grant. This additional funding will assist the Education Authority to address in-year pressures in the provision of Special Education Needs in both mainstream and special schools.
