The Deputy may be aware that I published the Report of the Advisory Group to the Forum on Patronage and Pluralism in April 2012 and I outlined my Action Plan in response to the Report in June 2012. My Department is implementing that Action Plan. The Advisory Group did not recommend abandoning the current national school model nor do I have any plans to do so.
