On completion in 2003, the equivalent of 4,500 places will have been transferred to the education sector. Mainstreaming involves the transfer of the relevant funding from the FÁS budget to the relevant Department with primary functional responsibility for the services in question. This is happening at present in the case of the community employment scheme school services. Under this arrangement an additional €58 million is being made directly available to schools on an annual basis, phased in by 2003, to provide replacement services in schools. This will enable schools to improve on the level of secretarial and caretaking supports that are currently in place through the community employment scheme and to provide greater certainty and flexibility in the funding of such services.
