More than 350 schools in Northern Ireland face a big rise in the cost of cleaning services from September, with one principal saying his school's extra bill of £93,000 is a 'real shock to the system'
"Our bill has annually been around £160,000," he told BBC News NI.But the school has now been told it will have to pay £253,000 a year to the Education Authority for the service."This is beyond what our expectations were and in real terms that £93,000 is probably three times the value of the resources that go into departments in our school for each subject."
"For me the issue is not so much with the Education Authority but it's down to local government and the lack of investment that's going into education," said Mr Massey.Michael Carville, the principal of Regent House School in Newtownards in County Down, is also facing a big rise in his bill from the authority.
