As previously outlined to the Deputy on 9th October 2012, the priority in the education capital budget sector is to focus on major school projects and smaller projects devolved to schools to meet demographic demands over the next five years. Given the necessity to concentrate on meeting the need for additional school places it is unlikely that funding will be available for a minor works grant in the coming years.
