Vol. 442 No. 4

Written Answers. - Primary School Grants.

John O'Leary

Ceist:

102 Mr. O'Leary asked the Minister for Education the local contribution per primary school pupil in 1993-94; and if she will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy may be aware, I have secured substantial increases in the capitation grant for primary schools over the past two years. The standard rate of grant has increased from a level of £28 in 1992 to £33 in 1993 and to £38 in 1994.

The local contribution towards operating costs, equivalent to at least 25 per cent of the State capitation grant should be lodged each year in a bank account in the school's name. The local contribution per primary school pupil in 1993 was £8.25. In accordance with the above arrangements, the local contribution for 1994 will be £9.50 per pupil.
