I have three quick questions for the Minister. Are there any proposals to advance or develop a common curriculum, North and South, in a particular subject or subjects?

With regard to rural schools, in parts of the Six Counties, in particular, in Fermanagh with which I am familiar because I live on the Border, there are considerable concerns about proposed closures, not of really small schools but of schools with substantial enrolment.
