A primary headteacher warns schools have been given 'impossible' budgets and cannot cover costs.
A considerable number of schools are facing an unsustainable financial position, according to the Education Authority .Meanwhile, the head of Northern Ireland's biggest primary warned her budget will not cover paying staff.Each school is provided with an annual amount of funding from the Department of Education , based mainly on the number of pupils it has.Strandtown in east Belfast is Northern Ireland's largest primary with almost 1,000 pupils.
"That is why as a school we are unable to cover lost monies arising from pupils withdrawal from residential trips or music lessons, and why we must ensure day visits/events organised by the school do not create additional unplanned expenses."Some of the wider financial problems facing education have also been outlined in just-published minutes of an EA committee meeting held in September.
Overall, schools will have more than £60m less than they need to run and that is expected to lead to an increasing number of schools going into the red.
