Notes:
The Department of Education does not directly fund any minority
ethnic support organisations. The funding detailed below, for
which DE is the Accountable Department, is via an Intermediary
Funding Body called YESIP (Youth Education Social Inclusion Partnership).
The Department has distributed £328,000 for Irish Travellers
across the Education and Library Boards (ELBs). This is used by
the Boards to fund peripatetic teaching and additional support
such as transport costs. £336,000 has been allocated for
2005-06.
The Department also allocates £410,000 pa to the ELBs
for those children who have English as an additional language
(EAL). The Boards use this to provide support such as interpretation
for these children. This money comes from Executive Programme
Funds and was announced by Mark Durkan on the 2 April 2001.
Funding for Travellers began in the 2000-01 financial year.
The breakdown of the funding for Travellers in each financial
year is as follows:
