The Department of Education in Northern Ireland is carrying out a review of funding for Northern Ireland's preparatory schools.
There are 17 prep schools attached to NI grammar schools and 2,500 primary age pupils attend them. At the moment they get £800 per pupil - much less than the £2,000 currently paid by the Department of Education for each primary school child.
There are many different arguments relating to the proposal. Given the complexity of the issue and its possible impact, it should be discussed by the whole Northern Ireland Assembly.
We request that the Office Of First Minister and Deputy First Minister ask The Northern Ireland Assembly to discuss the proposed removal of funding to Preparatory Schools.
