The Educational Welfare Service of Tusla (EWS) has advised that the table below outlines the numbers of primary and post-primary schools included in the School Completion Programme (SCP), since it transferred to Tusla on its establishment in 2014.

Year	No. Primary Schools in SCP	No. Post-Primary Schools in SCP
2014	470	224
2015	470	224
2016	470	222
2017	470	220
2018	470	219

The slight drop in the number of post-primary schools represents schools amalgamations.
