My Department is examining the feasibility of grouping a number of schools in the 3rd Bundle of school projects to be procured via Public Private Partnership. The make up and timing of bundles in my Department's PPP school building programme will be determined by my Department in consultation with the National Development Finance Agency (NDFA). The issues to be considered in the timing and bundling of these schools include site availability for each school, geographical spread and the estimated total cost of the proposed school bundle. The examination in relation to the 3rd Bundle is nearing completion and it is my intention to make an announcement about the matter as quickly as possible.
