Ceist:89 Miss de Valera asked the Minister for Education if she will give a breakdown of the proposed budget on in-service education for primary and post-primary level for 1996. [1806/96]
Written Answers. - Inservice Education Budget.
As I indicated in replies to previous questions, it is not possible for me to identify separately the total amounts of funding relating to the primary and post-primary sectors.
The 1996 estimate for in-career development is £6,336,000. This covers the primary and post-primary sectors, parents, adult education, youthreach, travellers, post leaving certificate courses, special and remedial education and the running costs of the education centre network.
The allocation for in-service is programme driven in accordance with the objectives agreed with the European Commission under the Human Resources Operational Programme. In line with this, a range of the activities and programmes supported is cross sectoral. Funding is, accordingly, not allocated and recorded on a sectoral basis.
