Question:568 Mr. Sargent asked the Minister for Education the plans, if any, he has to assess the need for primary school principals to correlate all the details required by the traditional roll books in use in each school and to update the ways in which necessary information is collected; and if he will report on the usefulness of this information in view of the fact that it is seldom checked in many national schools and seems to be of little use in the overall administration of schools or indeed the wider education system.
