Notes on Table
Changes in the total number of schools reflect school amalgamations or closures.
In 2011 under the National Education Welfare Board (Transfer of Departmental Administration and Ministerial Functions) Order, 2011 responsibility for the School Completion Programme (SCP) transferred to the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs. SCP funding transferred from Department of Education and Skills to the Department of Children and Youth Affairs in the same year.
