My Department provides funding to all recognised primary schools.
I do recognise the need to improve capitation funding for primary schools having regard to the reductions that were necessary over the recent years.
In Budget 2015 I was able to secure the first increase in education spending in recent years and a further increase in education spending was achieved in Budget 2016.
I am determined to continue pressing the case for increased investment, including grant funding in education.
