Joint Oireachtas Committee on the Implementation of the Good Friday Agreement

Integrated Education in Northern Ireland: Discussion

10:15 am

Ms Tina Merron:

Someone asked a question about shared classes and shared education. We see this as a step in the right direction, and we have funded it for the past 15 years, but it is only a step. We need them to progress further. Currently, they can get funding to work together but there is no expectation that they will go any further than that. We would like to see them move on to the next steps to ensure an outcome. In that way it will be sustainable. Currently, that cohort just work together. There is no sustainability in it, and we would like them to progress to the next step.
