IPPN welcomes Minister McHugh’s announcement that the payment of the Minor Works grant will be made to schools in December of this year. IPPN CEO Pairic Clerkin, said ‘the announcement is a welcome one and will allow primary schools to carry out works to ensure safety standards are maintained in schools and that learning environments are updated’. Mr Clerkin called for the Capitation and Ancillary Services grants to also be brought forward in line with the start and middle of school year so that schools do not commence the school year on a deficit. He suggested that a grants schedule to include Summer Works Schemes be published in a timely fashion.

You can get more information on the minor works scheme from Circular 0062 /2013.

This report, researched and written by Dr Eemer Eivers for IPPN, brings together research findings about the availability and use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)  in Irish primary schools in recent years. It is framed in a broader context of national investment in ICT infrastructure in primary schools, and policy related to the use of ICT in classrooms over this period. The data presented here are from the most recent cycles of a number of very large national and international studies, and provide a nationally representative picture of the situation in Irish primary schools.
