Vote 26 - Office of Minister for Education

Mr. Hubert Loftus:
It is part of something that we look at. It is part of something that we are conscious of, as part the wider scheme of things. When we look at climate we look at the school building, which is one part of it. As part of the active travel, we do a lot of good engagement with local authorities around that. There are obviously limitations. Most school projects are done at existing schools, so there are limitations around that. Beyond the building side of things, in the climate piece we recognise the important role that schools play in terms of their school communities and what we can do there. There is the curriculum area in relation to that.
