Information on the band rating of the ten major school building projects I announced in January for retender and construction is contained in the table that follows this reply. The projects will create almost 2,500 new school places at primary and post-primary levels. The projects, all of which were previously tendered, are to be offered to the market again to get better value for money. These school building projects will provide permanent primary school places for over 1,850 pupils in three new schools and in six extended and modernised schools. In addition, 600 students will benefit from a new post-primary school. The following nine primary school projects and one post-primary school project are to be re-tendered with a view to going on site as soon as possible:
