Ms Roisin Marshall:

For all sorts of reasons, teachers and classroom assistants end up working in integrated schools. However, there is no dedicated induction programme or training and development in being a teacher in an integrated school. That is something about which we think a great deal. We hope to go back to the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade very soon to say a larger strategy is needed. All of our teachers and every school are struggling with the same issues. The question is how do we prepare these teachers and share that learning across the education system generally. While it might be possible to facilitate some of it through shared education, it is so important that it needs to be at the heart of any teacher institution developing the teachers of the future.
