An Foras Pátrúnachta has called for an urgent increase in State funded schools to enable them to provide for their basic educational necessities.
The call which has been echoed by the main management bodies in Ireland, calls for the capitation grant to be restored to €200 annually per child and thus reversing a 15% cut to capitation funding since 2010.
General Secretary of An Foras Pátrúnachta, Caoimhín Ó hEaghra, has said that the restoration of the grant is absolutely necessary to ensure schools can support themselves without having to ask parents to continue to fill the shortfall.

Tá iarrtha ag An Foras Pátrúnachta go mbeidh ardú ar an deontas caipitíochta i scoileanna Státmhaoinithe ionas go mbeidh siad in ann a mbunriachtanais oideachasúla a chomhlíonadh.
Tá an t-iarratas céanna á lorg ag na príomhchomhlachtaí bainistíochta in Éirinn .i. go mbeidh an deontas caipitíochta tugtha ar ais go €200 in aghaidh na bliana in aghaidh an dalta agus mar sin an gearradh siar 15% ar an deontas ó 2010 a chur ar ceal.
Dúirt Ard-Rúnaí An Foras Pátrúnachta, Caoimhín Ó hEaghra, go bhfuil ardú ar an deontas riachtanach le cinntiú go mbeidh scoileanna in ann tacú leo féin gan airgead a lorg ó thuismitheoirí an bearna a líonadh níos mó.
