Question:
To ask the Minister of Education for an update on the review of the effectiveness of the Pre-School Education Inclusion Support Fund.

Answer:

An evaluation of Pre-School Education Inclusion Support Fund (PSEISF) for the 2024/25 academic year was expected by the end of October 2025; however, due to competing priorities within the directorate responsible for it, this has been delayed slightly.

A review of the administration of the Fund has been completed, a survey to all settings that received funding will be issued shortly and it is expected that the evaluation will be completed by the end of December.
