Commitment

End State subsidies to private schools

What this means

  • People Before Profit promised to end all State subsidies to private schools as part of their 2024 general election manifesto.[source]
  • The party also committed to speeding up the removal of Catholic Church control over the education system in Ireland.[source]
  • This is a promise only, made in November 2024. No delivery date was set and it has not been enacted into policy.[source]
  • The commitment matters for accountability because public money currently supports private schools, and this pledge would redirect those funds if acted upon.[source]
