Secondary schools at risk of not being able to roll out book scheme in September

More than 212,000 students enrolled in 670 post-primary schools will benefit from the scheme. 

Many post-primary schools are at risk of not being able to roll out the School Book Scheme in time for its launch in September, with a large majority of principals saying the necessary supports and information are not in place.

A survey from the National Association of Principals and Deputies (NAPD) found that 83% of principals believe those supports are simply not available.
