Question:
To ask the Minister of Education whether he has any plans to review the funding model for post-primary schools.

Answer:

The Education Transformation Programme includes a Review of the Common Funding Scheme (CFS) Project. The CFS covers all schools funded under Local Management of Schools arrangements, including post-primary schools.

As agreed in New Decade, New Approach, it is proposed that there will be an Independent Review of Education Provision. Consideration is now being given to the design and delivery of such a review, including the extent to which the Independent Review may incorporate the work of the Review of the CFS Project undertaken to date.
