I propose to take Questions Nos. 313 to 315, inclusive, together.

My Department allocates the recurrent funding to the Higher Education Authority (HEA) for direct disbursement to the HEA designated higher education institutions including Institutes of Technology (IoTs) such as Letterkenny Institute of Technology (LYIT).

Upon my appointment as Minister I commenced a programme of reinvestment in the education sector. This included an increase in annual recurrent funding to LYIT by €2.3m. 

In their financial statements y/e 31 August 2016, the institute achieved a reduced deficit of €137k ( 1,358k in 2015) and will meet this deficit through accumulated reserves.

In 2017, the institute was budgeting for an operating surplus for the first time in six years and confirmed in late 2017 that this was on target for achievement.

However, an annual deficit of €1.4m per annum is currently being attributed to School of Tourism, Killybegs. This is a function of relatively low student numbers coupled with relatively high staff numbers.  To seek in part to address this issue, I, approved the provision of ring-fenced funding of €750k per annum for 4 years from 2017 to 2020.  This funding was approved following recommendations of the 2014 Working Group which was appointed to examine the financial viability of the Killybegs campus.  The institution is working closely with a financial expert and the HEA to ensure a financially viable future for the campus.  

I have attached the following tables in reply to the queries:

1:  Letterkenny IT Records of Annual Surplus/Deficit 2007-2016 (calendar year)

2:  Letterkenny IT Income - state vs non state - Income sources 2007-2016 (academic year)*

3: Letterkenny IoT summary - core grant, fees and student contribution by income stream (calendar year)

*Please note the most recent figures available are for the 2015/16 academic year.

My Department allocates recurrent funding to the Higher Education Authority (HEA) for direct disbursement to HEA designated higher education institutions. The HEA allocates this funding as a block grant to the institutions. As autonomous bodies, the internal disbursement of this funding, along with any funding it receives from private sources, is a matter for the individual institution.

Please see the following tables providing the information requested by the Deputy.

DEIS Status

Questions (321)

Pearse Doherty

Question:

321. Deputy Pearse Doherty asked the Minister for Education and Skills the primary and post-primary schools in County Donegal which enjoy DEIS status; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54460/17]

View answer

Written answers

The list of primary and post primary schools that have DEIS status, including those requested by the Deputy in County Donegal, is available on my Department’s website at the following link: https://www.education.ie/en/Schools-Colleges/Services/DEIS-Delivering-Equality-of-Opportunity-in-Schools-/deis_school_list.xls

Traveller Education

Questions (322)

Willie O'Dea

Question:

322. Deputy Willie O'Dea asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to restore the position of resource teachers for Travellers in view of the fact that they are now recognised as a separate ethnic group; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54468/17]

View answer

Written answers

The policy of my Department in relation to Traveller education is underpinned by the National Traveller and Roma Inclusion Strategy 2017 – 2021 which was launched by my colleague the Minister Justice and Equality in June 2017. The strategy was developed in consultation with relevant stakeholders including Traveller representative groups.

Education provision for Traveller children in school has been mainstreamed in accordance with my Department’s policy in this area.  To assist with full implementation of mainstreaming, a number of Traveller-specific supports have been retained in the system.  These include 141 additional learning support teaching posts and a higher level of pupil capitation to support some 11,000 identified Traveller pupils in primary and post-primary education.  The current cost of this additional provision is approximately €10 million annually.

It is important to note that additional resources provided in the education system are allocated on the basis of identified individual educational need rather than that of ethnic or cultural background.

Schools Building Projects Status

Questions (323)

Seán Sherlock

Question:

323. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Education and Skills the position regarding a school project (details supplied) in County Kildare. [54481/17]

View answer

Written answers

The building project for the school to which the Deputy refers is at an advanced stage of architectural planning, Stage 2b – Detailed Design, which includes the applications for Planning Permission, Fire Cert and Disability Access Cert and the preparation of tender documents. All statutory approvals have been obtained.

The Design Team is currently finalising the stage 2b documentation and expects to submit the finalised Stage 2b Report to my Department shortly.

Upon receipt and review of this outstanding documentation, my Department will revert to the school's Board of Management with regard to the further progression of the project at that time.

Questions (324)

Pat Casey

Question:

324. Deputy Pat Casey asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he will address a matter regarding the retaining wall of a school (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54486/17]

View answer

Written answers

My Department has sought an update from the Consultant Architect working on the major building project to which the Deputy refers and understands that there is a low wall retaining a planter for shrubs and plants opposite the blank gable to classrooms 5 and 13.  It ranges in height from approx. 600mm to 775mm.  It runs parallel to the existing retaining wall to the southern boundary.  The retaining wall built for the adjacent school will not be moved as part of this project.  The wall to the planter is 3450mm away from the blank gable to classroom 5 (classroom 13 sits over classroom 5).  The retaining wall already built is 5 metres away from this blank gable. 

School Management

Questions (325)

Michael McGrath

Question:

325. Deputy Michael McGrath asked the Minister for Education and Skills if his attention has been drawn to the escalating insurance premiums faced by primary and post-primary schools; if his Department has data in this regard for 2016 and 2017; his plans to address the issue; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [54519/17]

View answer

Written answers

Responsibility for procurement of insurance and payment of same rests with Board of Management in respect of school operated by them.  My department does not hold records in relation to insurance costs for schools. If a particular school has a query in relation to the cost of insurance it should raise this directly with its insurance provider. 

Boards of Management should take a proactive approach when it comes to sourcing insurance in order to ensure best value is obtained and to ensure compliance with public procurement procedures.

Schools Procurement Unit which has a national remit is available to advise and assist schools in relation to procurement matters.  

Physical Education

Questions (326)

Seán Sherlock

Question:

326. Deputy Sean Sherlock asked the Minister for Education and Skills the capital funding he plans to put in place for schools to be able to effectively teach physical education as a leaving certificate subject. [54520/17]

View answer

Written answers

Two new physical education elements at senior cycle will be introduced to schools on a phased basis from September 2018:

1. Leaving Certificate Physical Education (an optional subject for examination in the Leaving Certificate);

2. A Senior Cycle Physical Education Framework (not for examination).

As part of the process of identifying schools to participate in Phase 1 of the implementation of Physical Education in Senior Cycle commencing in September 2018, a circular letter (ref 0080/2017) was recently issued by my Department to all post-primary schools inviting them to apply. The letter advised of the selection criteria that would be used to assist in selecting the Phase 1 schools. These criteria include the requirement that schools have suitable facilities including indoor and/or outdoor spaces for learning in Physical Education.

Phase 1 of the implementation process will involve a small cohort of schools who have the capacity to introduce Physical Education as a Leaving Certificate subject and/or the Senior Cycle Physical Education Framework in September 2018. The deadline for applications to participate in Phase 1 is 16 January. Planning for the subsequent rollout of the subject and framework as an option for all schools will require further consideration regarding the capacity of schools to offer these elements.

As the Deputy may be aware, the project to which he refers has been devolved for delivery to the local Education and Training Board (ETB).

Planning permission has been received for the project which is at the detailed design stage. In this regard, the Stage 2B submission was recently submitted to my Department for examination. The outcome of this examination will be conveyed to the ETB as soon as it is available. As the project is still in architectural planning, it is not possible to say at this stage when the new building will be completed.

Bríd Smith

Question:

328. Deputy Bríd Smith asked the Minister for Education and Skills his plans to address the shortage of secondary school places in Dublin 8 in view of the fact that recent communication from his Department suggests that the area will be serviced by a secondary school in Sandymount; if his attention has been drawn to the difficulties that students from Dublin 8 would have accessing Sandymount at peak hours; and if he has further plans to provide pupils and parents from Dublin 8 with the same educational opportunities available to others.

As the Deputy may be aware, in order to plan for school provision and analyse the relevant demographic data, my Department divides the country into 314 School Planning Areas (SPAs). My Department uses a Geographical Information System (GIS) to identify where the pressure for school places across the country will arise. The GIS uses data from a range of sources, including the Central Statistics Office, Ordnance Survey Ireland, the Department of Social Protection and the Department's own databases. With this information, my Department carries out nationwide demographic exercises at primary and post primary level to determine where additional school accommodation is needed.

Where demographic data indicates that additional provision is required, the delivery of such additional provision is dependent on the particular circumstances of each case and may, depending on the circumstances, be provided through either one, or a combination of, the following:

- Utilising existing unused capacity within a school or schools

- Extending the capacity of a school or schools

- Provision of a new school or schools.

The new post-primary school to open in September 2018 referenced by the Deputy was announced in November 2015 as a regional solution to cater for increased demographic pressure that was anticipated across a number of School Planning Areas on the basis of demographic exercises which were conducted at that time. The School Planning Areas are Dublin 2_Dublin 4 SPA, Dublin 6_Clonskeagh SPA, and Dublin 8 SPA. It is expected that the pressure on schools for school places across these SPAs will be alleviated when the new school referenced by the Deputy has opened.

As with other school planning areas nationwide, the demographic data for the area referred to by the Deputy is being kept under ongoing review by my Department to take account of updated data.

In relation to school admissions, parents can choose which school to apply to and where the school has places available the pupil should be admitted. However, in schools where there are more applicants than places available a selection process may be necessary.

This selection process and the enrolment policy on which it is based must be non-discriminatory and must be applied fairly in respect of all applicants. However, this may result in some pupils not obtaining a place in the school of their first choice.

Section 29 of the Education Act, 1998 provides for an appeal by a parent or guardian to the Secretary General of my Department, or in the case of an Education and Training Board (ETB) school to the ETB in the first instance, where a Board of Management of a school, or a person acting on behalf of the Board, refuses to enrol a student in a school, expels a student or suspends a student for 20 or more days in any school year. Further information on the Section 29 appeals process is available on the Department's website www.education.ie.

The Educational Welfare Service of the Child and Family Agency (Tusla) is the statutory agency which can assist parents who are experiencing difficulty in securing a school place for their child. The EWS can be contacted at 01-7718500.

School Services Staff

Questions (330)

Joan Collins

Question:

330. Deputy Joan Collins asked the Minister for Education and Skills if he has discussed with the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform plans to reinstate school secretaries in primary schools onto his Department's pay base in order that they will be on a pay scale, receive holiday pay and sick payments and be entitled to a pension (details supplied). [54560/17]

Schemes were initiated in 1978 and 1979 for the employment of Clerical Officers and Caretakers in primary and secondary schools.  Staff employed on these schemes are paid directly by my Department and are not paid via grant funding.  The 1978 and 1979 schemes are being phased out and have been superseded by a more extensive capitation grant scheme.

The majority of primary and voluntary secondary schools in the Free Education Scheme now receive capitation grant assistance to provide for secretarial, caretaking and cleaning services. Capitation related grants are issued to the majority of primary and post-primary schools to employ such staff.  Within the capitation grant schemes, it is a matter for each individual school to decide how best to apply the grant funding to suit its particular needs.

Where a school uses the capitation grant funding to employ a secretary, such staff are employees of individual schools. My Department therefore does not have any role in determining the pay and conditions under which they are engaged. These are matters to be agreed between the staff concerned and the school authorities. My Department has no plans to develop an alternative scheme for schools to employ secretaries separate to the current system of capitation grant assistance.

Notwithstanding the above, in 2015 my Department agreed to engage with the union side in relation to the pay of school secretaries and caretakers who are employed using grant funding and to enter an arbitration process. The Arbitrator recommended a cumulative pay increase of 10% between 2016 and 2019 for school secretaries and caretakers comprehended by the terms of the arbitration process and that a minimum hourly pay rate of €13 for such staff be phased in over the period 2016 to 2019.  In December 2017 my Department issued circular letter 0078/2017 for primary schools and circular letter 0079/2017 for voluntary secondary schools, setting out the application of the third phase increases of the Arbitrator’s recommendations.  The circulars are available at:

Circular 0078/2017: www.education.ie/en/Circulars-and-Forms/Active-Circulars/cl0078_2017.pdf.

Circular 0079/2017: www.education.ie/en/Circulars-and-Forms/Active-Circulars/cl0079_2017.pdf.

The increases recommended by the Arbitrator are binding and must be applied by all schools who employ staff to whom the Arbitrators recommendation applies.  The circulars issued by my Department set out the revised rates of grant funding for schools and an application process whereby schools can apply for additional funding in order to enable them to pay the revised rates set out in the circulars.

Apprenticeship Data

Questions (332)

Maurice Quinlivan

Question:

332. Deputy Maurice Quinlivan asked the Minister for Education and Skills the number of female apprentices in apprenticeship schemes at the end of 2017; and the measures being taken to encourage greater female participation in apprenticeships. [54566/17]

View answer

Written answers

At the end of 2017 there was a total of 151 female apprentices registered on the 34 apprenticeship schemes currently on offer, which represents an increase of over 150% on the 2016 figure of 60.

The 2014 Review of Apprenticeship in Ireland acknowledged that the number of women employed in craft apprenticeships is low as they operate in sectors that have traditionally low levels of female employment. SOLAS offers a bursary to employers to encourage them to employ female apprentices in these areas. Despite this the number of female apprentices in the craft apprenticeships remains low.

Currently the Apprenticeship Council is overseeing the expansion of the apprenticeship system in Ireland into a range of new sectors of the economy, following two calls for new apprenticeship proposals from employers and education and training providers. To date nine new apprenticeship programmes are operational and we are now seeing a strong increase in female participation in many of these new programmes, particularly in the financial and hospitality sectors. With further new apprenticeships to get underway this year, many of which that are in sectors where there is a different gender balance in the workplace, it is expected, as these new apprenticeships are rolled out, that this will lead to a continued increase in female participation.

As set out in our Action Plan to Expand Apprenticeship and Traineeship in Ireland, my Department will, in conjunction with SOLAS, review the pathways to participation in apprenticeship in a range of diverse groups, including female participation. The review will be completed later this year.

Furthermore, a digital campaign to promote apprenticeship is now underway with a dedicated Twitter feed #Generation Apprenticeship, a new apprenticeship website www.apprenticeship.ie, an Apprenticeship Ireland Facebook page and a LinkedIn page. In all aspects of the digital campaign women feature prominently and there will be a specific focus on encouraging women and girls to consider apprenticeship as a means of launching or developing their careers.

I propose to take Questions Nos. 333 and 334 together.

As the Deputy is aware, a building project for the school to which he refers is included in my Department's 6 Year Construction Programme. 

The process of acquiring a suitable site to facilitate the proposed building project has recently been completed.  The project brief is now being finalised with a view to progressing the project into architectural planning.

In addition, I wish to advise the Deputy that an application by the school for additional temporary classroom accommodation was recently approved by my Department.
