The strategies and programmes being implemented to achieve the NAPS targets will build on the comprehensive range of measures put in place to counter educational disadvantage. At school level these include the Early Start programme, which will receive €4 million this year, and the Giving Children an Even Break programme, which involves a targeted support package for disadvantaged children at primary level. The latter scheme applies to 2,320 schools, includes the appointment of over 200 additional teachers and will ensure that the maximum class size in junior classes in designated disadvantaged schools will be 20. The expenditure for this programme, combined with the resources dedicated to the Breaking the Cycle project in 2002, the support teacher project and the disadvantaged areas scheme, will be about €36.7 million.
