Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail each (i) primary school; (ii) post-primary school that has a deficit; and (iii) to detail each deficit at the end of each financial year (a) 2010/2011; (b) 2011/2012; (c) 2012/2013; (d) 2013/2014; and (e) 2014/2015.

Answer:

I have arranged for the information requested to be placed in the Assembly Library.

The information provided is in respect of Controlled/Maintained schools only. Similar data is not available for Voluntary Grammar (VG) and Grant-Maintained Integrated (GMI) Schools, for which my Department is the Funding Authority. VG and GMI schools are not reported on in the same way as each other (the same accounting policies are not used by all) or in the same way as Controlled/Maintained schools for which the Education Authority (EA) (formerly Education and Library Boards) are the Funding Authority.
