Question:231 Mr. Cregan asked the Minister for Education and Science when a decision will be made on funding for the stay in school retention initiative in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Kilkenny. [17131/03]
Written Answers. - Educational Programmes.
My Department is reviewing the position in relation to SSRI schools. Any decision to include SSRI strand schools in the project strand of the school completion programme will be based on a selection process, which will take into account the latest available analysis of pupil retention rates at second level. The school to which the Deputy refers will be notified of the outcome on completion of the review, which is expected shortly.
