A total of 140 new schools have been constructed over the period 2011 to 2015. At primary level 103 new schools have been constructed and 37 new schools have been constructed for the post-primary sector. The names and roll numbers of all 140 schools are provided in the following tables.

On the occasion of the announcement of the five year plan in March 2012, the focus was directed at meeting the dramatic rise in enrolments at both primary and second level schools. The priority was to ensure that every child could access a physical school place. This is achieved not only in the provision of new schools but also in the construction of large scale schools extensions and extra classrooms delivered under the devolved Additional Accommodation Scheme.
