In June of last year I announced that 20 new primary schools and 20 new post-primary schools would be established up to 2017. My Department recently informed patron bodies of the locations of new primary schools to be established in 2012 and 2013 and invited applications for patronage of same. My Department has prepared a report on these applications for the consideration of the New Schools Establishment Group who will submit a report to me in due course for final consideration and decision.
