Written Answers. - Breaking the Cycle Scheme.
I have no plans at present to expand the Breaking the Cycle scheme. The operation of the scheme is being closely monitored both internally by the schools involved, in conjunction with my Department's inspectorate, and externally by the Education Research Centre. Decisions on any future development of the scheme will be guided by the outcome of the review process.
