School Book Rental Scheme: Discussion

1:25 pm

Mr. Sean McMahon:

I will conclude.

Many book rental schemes have worked in the past because schools have been in a position to use non-State funding. In summary, the INTO recommends that increased funding be made available to all schools to support the provision of school textbooks to families experiencing financial difficulties. The INTO recommends that posts of responsibility be reinstated in schools to enable schools to develop and maintain book rental schemes.
