INTEGRATED EDUCATION FUND

Early day motion 1952, tabled 30 March 2006 by David Anderson (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House welcomes the decision of the Integrated Education Fund (IEF) in Northern Ireland to give financial support of over £750,000 to establish integrated education provision in both the Clogher Valley and the Saintfield/Carryduff areas following the refusal of the Government to fund these schools; welcomes the IEF's decision to continue to fund the campaign by a group of parents in the Moira/Hillsborough area for an integrated primary school in their area; and notes that support for integrated education was a key theme of the St Patrick's week celebrations in the United States where policy-makers and American-Irish organisations see the great importance of promoting integrated education.
