According to NI Secretary Brandon Lewis, the UK Government will launch a program to support greater inclusion through education in Northern Ireland. <\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He will comment on the move when addressing a conference on Northern Ireland on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Organized by the NI Office (NIO) and the Wilton Park Government Agency, the event lasts three days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

It is titled A More Confident and Inclusive Northern Ireland.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He will inform the participants that the demand for integrated education is not currently being met. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

  • Integrated Education Bill passes through Stormont<\/li>\n
  • Mixed reactions to the new integrated Coleraine school<\/li>\n
  • No religious mix in \u201calmost a third of NI schools\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n

    Mr Lewis will say the government program will promote the benefits of integrated education for parents, teachers and students. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Earlier this year, a new law was passed in Stormont, obliging the Ministry of Education (DE) to give more support to integrated education.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The Integrated Education Act requires the department to increase the number of integrated school places and to set targets for the number of children to be taught there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    A statement from the NIO said the conference, starting Wednesday, will explore how integrated education is a “key enabler of opportunity and empowerment for young people” and a key principle of the government’s commitment to Leveling Up.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Discussions will also revolve around the potential of Northern Ireland and what needs to change in the coming years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Around 7% of pupils in Northern Ireland are currently educated in almost 70 formally integrated schools which aim to mix pupils from Protestant, Catholic and other backgrounds.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Ulster University (UU) last year announced plans to help run a new integrated secondary school for around 1,200 pupils in Coleraine, County Londonderry. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The school would be the first of its kind in Northern Ireland. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Northern Ireland’s oldest integrated school, Lagan College in South Belfast celebrated its 40th anniversary last year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
