As the Deputy is aware, I have recently commenced a process to renew the DEIS programme. The review process is being undertaken over the course of the current school year and will consider all issues pertaining to educational disadvantage.

As I have already announced pending the outcome of this review I will not be making any changes to the current programme, including the additionally of further schools.
