Sinn Féin MLA Pat Sheehan has welcomed an allocation of £170 million for education from the Finance Minister Caoimhe Archibald.
The party’s education spokesperson said:
“I want to commend Finance Minister Caoimhe Archibald’s decision to prioritise strengthening our education system with a funding injection of £170 million.
“The education minister must now prioritise delivering on the most important issues including fair pay for workers, transforming childcare, supporting children with special educational needs and addressing educational underachievement.
“Sinn Féin will continue to press the British Treasury for fairer funding to enable us to get on with the job of delivering a stronger education system that gives every child the best start to life.”
