View answerMy Department is aware of the issues referred to by the Deputy.
The Department was in contact with the school Principal in May and agreed to facilitate the school with the advance payment of capitation funding due in September to enable it to address these issues.
In this regard the school was advised to contact the Department with regard to the school's funding requirements. No further contact was made by the school to my Department in relation to the issues referred to by the Deputy.
