Education cuts: No new school buildings to be started in 2023/24

Dr Kingon said school buildings already being constructed would continue, but other planned work would be affected."It is unlikely we will be able to commence construction of any executive-funded new school builds or school enhancement projects."School enhancement is for school buildings costing between £500,000 and £4m.

The department was spending about £1m a year providing schools with high numbers of pupils entitled to free school meals with new digital devices like laptops and iPads.
