The Department of Education has a proven track record of delivery, with over 180 projects completed last year within a challenging environment of high inflation, labour shortages and supply chain issues.
There are circa 300 school building projects which are currently under construction, including 40 new school buildings and 256 projects at existing schools. There are over 1,000 other school building projects in the Department’s pipeline at various stages of development. The Department also continues to support schools with the successful integration of over 15,000 Ukrainian students within the school system.
The table below provides an overview of all school building projects currently in progress under the Large Scale Capital Programme and the Additional School Accommodation Scheme.
