An Education_NI strategy to grow integrated education has been described as 'an action plan with no action'.
But others backed the law, including the principal of Northern Ireland'sAdam McGibbon from Integrated AlumNI, a charity representing former integrated school pupils, said there was a "snail's pace approach" to growing integrated education.
"Prime Minister Rishi Sunak suggested that integrated education 'should be the norm, not the exception', but this paper-thin strategy ensures that for many Northern Ireland parents and kids, they still won't even have the choice of an integrated school."The strategy does not set targets for the growth of pupil or school numbers
The strategy said, for instance, that between April 2022 and March 2023 the department had created an additional 95 places for pupils in integrated schools through a process known as temporary variation. But the strategy does not set targets for the growth of pupil or school numbers or specify how much money the department will spend on growing integrated education.
