I recognise the key role school leadership has in promoting a school environment which is welcoming, inclusive and accountable.

As part of Budget 2024, funding of €4 million will be made available to provide 1,000 additional posts of responsibility in the school system for the 2024/25 school year. This is in recognition that school leaders play a key role in improving educational outcomes by creating a positive school climate and environment as well as motivating and empowering educators and learners within their school communities.
