Back-to-School Costs and Schoolbook Rental Schemes: Discussion

1:35 pm

Mr. Matt Ryan:

A survey was conducted in the autumn of 2011 and we got a very good response rate from primary schools. At that stage 76% of primary schools had book rental schemes in place. By our calculation, €5 million each year over three years would be enough to provide a seed capital scheme for the remaining primary schools.
