Minister for Education

A review of the existing SNA contract is one of the commitments agreed under the Building Momentum National Agreement. There has been informal engagement with education partners on the issue and my Department is currently considering the most appropriate approach to the review, with a view to agreeing an approach in Q2 of this year. It remains the aim to have the review completed by the end of the year.
