The grant available to families towards the cost of school uniforms is to rise for the 2022/23 school year.
Education Minister Michelle McIlveen said she was spending just over £1m to increase the uniform grant by 20%.
Low-income families eligible for the grant apply though the Education Authority (EA).
The Department of Education spoke previously of a "huge discrepancy" between the grant available to NI families and other parts of the UK.
The department is currently reviewing the criteria for the uniform grant and for free school meals.
