The Standardised Testing Grant is:
- €6.00 per pupil in English medium schools with a minimum payment of €140.
- €7.50 per pupil in Irish medium schools with a minimum payment of €162.
These funds should be used to buy test instruments and materials such as teachers’ manuals, scoring services or test-related software. Any remaining funds, after covering test costs, may be used to buy additional tests to better understand pupils’ needs and support inclusion.
