Schoolbooks Scheme Information Hub

The Schoolbooks schemes that have been introduced will remove the cost from families of funding schoolbooks for children and young people. These schemes provide funding for pupils and students enrolled in both recognised primary schools and special schools, and in post-primary schools in the Free Education Scheme.

In primary and special schools parents/guardians will no longer be required to make any contribution towards the cost of schoolbooks, workbooks, and copybooks as specified in the scheme guidance.

In post-primary schools parents/guardians will no longer be required to make any contribution towards the cost of schoolbooks, and core classroom resources as specified in the scheme guidance.

Schools will communicate with parents in relation to the scope of the scheme in their school.
