School Funding Crisis: Where to Next?

The Belfast Telegraph highlighted the issue on 20^th June reporting that Post Primary Principals have called for urgent action on school budgets cuts.

“The letter from the Area Learning Communities calls for immediate action to rethink the allocation of the defined budget for education, including a complete restructuring of the amount of money which is absorbed by non-front line services and a greater delegation of funds to post-primary schools”.
