I propose to take Questions Nos. 248 and 252 together.

There are different management and ownership structures for voluntary secondary schools, including fee paying schools, vocational schools, community and comprehensive schools. In general, voluntary secondary schools are privately owned and managed institutions, whereas all community and comprehensive schools are vested in the Minister for Education and Science. Vocational schools are public schools owned and managed by vocational education committees which are responsible for the day-to-day running of these schools and colleges.
