My Department has prioritised the roll out of high-speed symmetrical 100Mbit/s broadband to post-primary schools. This has been a very successful initiative which is enhancing our young people's learning opportunities. In accordance with the recently published Digital Strategy for schools, we will continue to invest in school connectivity across the sectors but giving priority to primary which is need of improvement.
