Written answers

Minister for Education and Skills

It is open to school referred to by the Deputy to apply for funding under any future Summer Works Scheme (SWS). The purpose of the SWS is to devolve funding to individual school authorities to facilitate schools carrying out small and medium scale improvement works that will upgrade existing school facilities including roof replacement.
