The overall budget for schools in Northern Ireland will be cut for next year, Education_NI says in a letter to school governors.
Chris Heaton-Harris has not yet set a Northern Ireland budget for 2023/24 in the absence of an Executive
In the letter to all schools, seen by BBC News NI, the department's director of finance Gary Fair said he shared their "frustration that, as we approach the start of the 2023-24 financial year, details of the 2023-24 Budget have not yet been announced"."The interim allocation reflects the likelihood of significant cuts to the education budget, as advised by the Department of Finance and the Northern Ireland Office," Mr Fair wrote.
"Given the anticipated constrained financial position it has not been possible to include the funding allocated in 2022-23 to mitigate pay and energy increases". Therefore, Mr Fair continued, the overall budget for schools of just under £1.4bn represented "a 1.6% reduction" compared to the closing position in 2022-23.Mr Fair also said that schools should not assume that they would receive further allocations of money in 2023-24.
He also said that Boards of Governors should "make every effort" to ensure schools stayed within their budget.
