Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

A key priority for my Department is to prioritise and target resources in schools with the most concentrated levels of educational disadvantage. To this end resources in DEIS schools have been protected under Budget 2014, with no overall changes to DEIS-related staffing levels or DEIS funding in 2014.
