Schools & Cost of Living
- Published: 01 December 2022
The Minister for Education has announced an additional capitation payment, approximately 40 per cent increase in current capitation rate payments for this academic year. This once-off payment will be paid to schools before the end of the current school term. It is to provide additional support to schools given general inflation and increasing energy prices. Rates have been centrally negotiated by the DE for electricity and bulk heating fuels. Information on how to avail of these arrangements is available via the Schools Procurement Unit section.
