The Regional Training Unit (RTU) which provides training to the education sector in Northern Ireland offers ‘brain gym’ training through its summer school programme. In 2005-06 the cost of RTU training from public funds was £5,920.00. None of the education and library boards directly funded the ‘brain gym’ programme in Northern Ireland’s schools in 2005-06. Individual schools may purchase training from their delegated budgets, but to obtain details of any such expenditure on ‘brain gym’ expenditure could be gathered only at disproportionate cost.
