Joint Oireachtas Committee on Education and Youth

School Funding: Department of Education and Youth

2:00 am

Mr. Maurice Boland:

I thank the Deputy for her concerns and questions. On the ICT grants, we provide a grant for schools for ICT equipment. Since 2015, we have provided €345 million for grants for schools to buy devices for teachers and students. Our current digital strategy for schools is underpinned by €200 million in funding under Ireland's national development plan. We envision the next tranche of funding to be paid in the ICT grant in January of next year, which is good news for schools.
