The Commission on School Accommodation Needs is due to report to me soon on the recognition of new primary schools.

I will then consider the policy matters and any necessary arrangements and revised procedures that will need to be put in place in regard to the recognition process for new primary schools.

No new primary schools are being established pending the completion of the review and the implementation of the revised procedures, except in cases where new schools are warranted because of increased demographics.
