In the context of establishment of schools, the New Schools Advisory Committee (NSAC) assesses all applications for new school recognition. The NSAC is an independent advisory group established to process applications for the recognition of new primary schools and to make recommendations to the Minister for Education and Science. I am presently considering the Committee's report and recommendations and expect to be in a position to make an announcement on the outcome of all applications towards the end of April.
