Proposals by the Vocational Education Committee to extend Stranorlar vocational school were received in my Department in June, 1968.
Following examination of these proposals in relation to the overall requirements for post-primary education in the area, it was considered that the existing classroom accommodation in the vocational school was adequate.
The question of making arrangements for the erection of a hall/ gymnasium, library and general purpose room for use by the pupils of both the vocational and secondary schools is being examined by my Department at present.
