The prioritisation criteria for major school building projects were introduced by my Department following a report on the Prioritisation of School Building Projects carried out by Mr. Frank Pignatelli. The band rating system was refined in 2004, following consultation with the education partners.

Under the criteria, individual projects are assigned a band rating. Documents explaining the band rating system are published on my Department's website. Progress on individual projects is consistent with the assigned band rating. There are four band ratings overall with band 1 being the highest and band 4 the lowest. A project's band rating can be reviewed if the circumstances of a school change.
