Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 19 July 2012
150 Deputy Éamon Ó Cuív asked the Minister for Education and Skills the amount of funding made available by him to each of the 33 vocational education committees in 2011; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [36197/12]
View answerDetails of the current funding allocated to each Vocational Educational Committee in 2011 are listed in the attached table. These allocations enabled the VECs to provide a broad range of educational services. In addition to providing post-primary education and further and adult education, VECs also have responsibilities in areas such as community education, training for early school leavers, basic literacy courses, and the provision of a range of youth services. My Department provides the majority of the funding required by VECs for the delivery of these programmes.
Accordingly, the figures in the table include funding for pay to VEC staff (including teachers), funding for the day-to-day running of schools, specific grants (e.g. book grant, transition year programme), targeted expenditure (e.g. DEIS funding), funding for further and adult education (e.g. Youthreach and VTOS) and funding for student grants.
