Vol. 556 No. 3

Written Answers. - Inservice Training.

Dan Boyle

Ceist:

357 Mr. Boyle asked the Minister for Education and Science the budget agreed in the 2002 Book of Estimates for second level teacher inservice training; if this has been fully used for the purposes described; and if not, the other purposes to which this money has been allocated. [19956/02]

The budget for the in-career development unit covers inservice training for both primary and post-primary teachers and also training/support for parents and school management at 1st and 2nd levels. The amount allocated in the Book of Estimates for 2002 was €19.5 million and this money is being spent for the purposes for which it was allocated. It is expected that the out-turn for this year will be in the region of €18.5 million, a saving of just less than €1million.
