This Department provides capitation to schools which can be used for a number of purposes. It is normally used for mainstream education whether at primary or post primary. Schools would have discretion in relation to the funds. If a school chooses to become involved in the Foroige Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship, it could allocate some of its capitation funding to this initiative.

It is not possible for this Department to provide discrete funding for the many initiatives that schools choose to participate in.
