I echo Mr Harvey's comments. It is vital that we help. I know no parent who does not want to get the best educational outcomes for their children, but, often, they need help to do it. There is support through the extended schools programmes. There is an uplift of around 15% for participating schools in their…

I thank the Minister for all that he is doing to tackle underachievement. The Minister will agree that education in the home that supports the work of teachers is vital in tackling underachievement. Can anything more be done through targeted support so that there is greater engagement in education from parents?

I thank the Member for his question. He and others in Upper Bann have asked that question of me. That school is at the point at which it requires capital funding.

That answer was really interesting and, in many ways, answers my question. It is the type of question that allows us to bounce around constituency areas, as the Minister well knows. I have written to him about Portadown Integrated Nursery and Primary School, which has already jumped through all of the hoops that it…

First, I thank the Minister for being in my constituency last week. His visits were excellent, and I know that the boards of governors and the principals very much appreciated them.

It is not about Malone being added to a list; it is one of many schools that are on that list. Of the 28 post-primary schools on the list that were identified for new build, only seven have moved forward to the various design stages — 21 schools have not advanced at all — and the 28 post-primary schools sit alongside…

Minister, Malone is a brilliant school, and it really deserves a new building. Is it not the case that, if the approvals go through, Malone will be added to a capital list that is already heavily oversubscribed? Can you give Malone and other schools in the constituency, including St Joseph's College on the Ravenhill…

I agree with the Member's sentiments on the need for progress to be made on the school. We are at the point of completing the stage 1 process, but there are other stages to go through. I want that to advance so that the project is subject to moving forward on a construction process when the capital budget is…

Thank you, Minister. It sounds as though good progress is being made, but I impress on you how that school could benefit from a new build. It is incredibly diverse, and it has an excellent education and pastoral support system in place. It could do a lot better if it had a new school building.
