SCHOOLS across Donegal are set to get a major funding boost through the Government’s Summer Works Scheme announced by Education Minister Joe McHugh in Letterkenny this morning.
Twenty schools across the county will receive funding as part of the €40million national scheme. The money will be used to improve both primary and secondary school buildings. Minister McHugh made the announcement as he visited Scoil Cholmcille in Letterkenny this morning.
“I am delighted to be able to make such a substantial amount of money available to schools around the country, and not least those in Donegal,” said Minister McHugh.
“This investment secures money for schools to upgrade windows, meet curricular requirements and make structural improvements to buildings. The work will be carried out in schools mainly over the summer months, so the disruption to students, teachers and other staff will be kept to a minimum.
“We have also made sure that schools are getting the notification earlier to try to give principals and boards of management a better lead in time to plan and the deliver their summer works.”
