What is an Education Action Zone?
An Education Action Zone (EAZ) is a group of schools that is awarded special assistance from the Department of Education & Employment. An EAZ will run projects in schools and the community that aim to raise the achievement of pupils. Funds are also provided for additional resources such as extra staff time and equipment.
