My Department is moving towards a model of devolving the responsibility for building projects to school management authorities, where appropriate. The devolving of funding to local level will accommodate school authorities to have responsibility and ownership of their building projects and assist in moving projects in a specific timeframe through the design process to tender action and construction. The school in question has accepted the grant for the provision of an extension under the 2005 small schools initiative which I announced recently.
