Answer
The assessment process for Peace IV is still in progress and it is therefore not possible to provide any assessment at this stage.
Challenges encountered in implementing the DSC Shared Education Signature Project were largely due to industrial action by teaching unions in respect of the statutory assessment process, but with interim arrangement agreed with unions, spend has been increasing.
