The projects at the school to which the Deputy refers have been assessed in accordance with the published prioritisation criteria, which were revised following consultation with the education partners. The progress of these projects is being considered in the context of the 2005 school building programme.
The Deputy will be aware that I recently announced the first phase of the 2005 school building programme which provided details of 122 major school building projects country wide which will prepare tenders and move to construction during 2005. I have also recently announced: details of schools with projects approved under the 2005 summer works scheme; an expansion of the number of schools that will be invited to deliver their building projects on the basis of devolved funding; schools that will be authorised to commence architectural planning.
I plan to make further announcements shortly in relation to the schools building and modernisation programme that will include details of schools identified as suitable for construction under public private partnerships and schools whose projects will further progress through the design process.
