Written Answers. - School Costs.
367.
Estimates of cost as requested in the question are not available to my Department. Allocations of funds are made to the vocational education committees by committee and not by schools. Capitation and tuition grants to secondary schools are calculated by reference to pupils enrolled in the school. The Department are not furnished with information in regard to the amount of expenditure incurred under different headings.
