There are currently 44 major school projects on site. A further 124 major projects have been given approval to commence construction and are due to start on site this year. When all of these projects have been completed this will result in excess of 65,000 quality school places being provided. Details of all major school projects approved to commenced construction are available on my Department's website and is updated on a regular basis.
