Question:

848 Mr. J. O'Keeffe asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of post-primary schools in Cork South-West; the registered number of pupils in each; and the number employed in each of those schools. [9081/02]

In the vocational sector teaching resources are generally allocated on a VEC scheme basis rather than on an individual school basis. It is a matter for the chief executive officer, with the approval of the VEC, to allocate teaching resources to individual schools in the scheme from within the overall approved allocation to the scheme.

Of the 17 post primary schools in the Cork South-West electoral division, six are schools within the County Cork VEC scheme. The schools concerned and their enrolments are as follows:

St. Brogan's College, Kilbrogan, Bandon

761

St. Goban's College, Sheskin, Bantry

368

Clonakilty Community College, Clonakilty

579

Coláiste Chairbre, Dunmanway

341

Rossa College, Skibbereen

177

Schull Community College, Colla Road, Schull

441

A total of 668.98 WTEs have been allocated to County Cork VEC scheme for the current school year. Details of the allocations to individual schools within the scheme are not readily available.
