View answerEducation Centres are statutory bodies recognised under Section 37 of the Education Act (1998) and are managed by local voluntary Management Committees which are elected annually. Management Committees have overall responsibility for the operation of their centres and the appointment of a director and other staff.
Education Centres submit their independently certified accounts to my Department at the end of each financial year. The Centre in question has provided accounts for the years 2009 to 2016.
