“Guidelines for Developing Textbook Rental Schemes in Schools” Launched

Education Minister Ruairí Quinn today launched new “Guidelines for Developing Textbook Rental Schemes in Schools” in Presentation Primary School, Warrenmount, Dublin 8. The Guidelines provide practical advice to primary and post-primary schools on how rental schemes can be established and operated.

Schools which already have rental schemes can save parents up to 80% of the cost of buying new books. The aim of these Guidelines is to help as many schools as possible to start such book rental programmes.

A special “Guide for Parents” is also being published, to inform them of how the schemes operate and how parents can help schools to establish and run them.
