Dept Of Education Summer Works Scheme

I want to get the details of the Summer Works Scheme of Dept Of Education, Cornamaddy so will you please provide me?

The purpose of the Summer Works Scheme is to devolve funding to individual school authorities to undertake small-scale building works which, ideally, can be carried out during the summer months or at other times that avoid disrupting the operation of the school.

Summer Works Scheme

Under the terms of the scheme, school authorities are empowered to manage these works with guidance from and minimal interaction with the Department.

Funding for small scale projects will be allocated in accordance with the prioritisation criteria attaching to the scheme which, in the normal course, include the ability to have the works carried out during the summer.

The Department will provide funding of €47 million through the Summer Works Scheme which will provide for major improvements in primary and post primary schools around the country

This investment will see the allocation of €47million for vital school projects which aim to upgrade mechanical, sanitation and roofs in school buildings.

These works will be carried out in these schools mainly over the Summer months, so the disruption to students, teachers and other school staff will be kept to a minimum.

329 of the schools which will benefit from this round of funding are primary schools, while 109 are post primary schools.

The capacity of schools to take responsibility for delivering small and medium-scale projects is a key component of the Summer Works Scheme.
