It is difficult to make precise comparisons between the levels of grants paid and the actual costs of running schools at primary and post-primary.
In general, post-primary schools are larger than primary schools. They have specialist rooms such as laboratories, workshops etc. This leads to higher unit costs in for heat, light, power, maintenance and cleaning.
