The second set of investment under the ICT funding will benefit primary, post-primary and special schools.
Primary, post-primary and special schools in the midlands are set to receive €4.7m.
The ICT funding under the Digital Strategy for Schools will support digital learning and minor building works in the region.
Laois will receive €1.4m while Offaly will see an investment of €1.5m and there's €1.8m for Westmeath.
€50m in grant funding for Information and Communications Technology will issue shortly to all recognised primary and post-primary schools across the country.
It's the second round of such investment.
Minister Norma Foley said: “I am pleased today to be announcing funding which will support primary, post-primary and special schools in Laois and throughout Ireland to enhance both school settings and teaching and learning, to benefit our pupils and students.
“ICT grant funding will support schools to ensure they can continue to embed the use of digital technologies in their teaching, learning and assessment.
“Digital technologies can open up a world of opportunities to our pupils and students. It is important that schools can properly equip our young people with the knowledge, skills and understanding to harness the benefits of such technologies.”
The Digital Strategy ICT grant will consist of a €2,000 basic grant for primary schools plus an additional payment of €39 per mainstream pupil, €43 per pupil in DEIS schools and €47 per pupil with special educational needs attending a special school or attending a special class attached to a mainstream primary school. For example, a 100 pupil-primary school will receive €5,973 and a 500 pupil- primary school will receive €21,865.
Post-primary schools will be paid a €2,000 basic grant plus €47 per mainstream student and €52 per student in DEIS schools. A 500 student- post-primary school would receive €25,840 and a 1,000 student-post-primary school would receive €49,680.
