INTEGRATED EDUCATION IN NORTHERN IRELAND

Early day motion 746, tabled 28 January 2010 by David Anderson (Labour). Signed by 25 members.

That this House recognises that sustainable power-sharing in Northern Ireland would be massively enhanced with greater moves to bringing Catholics and Protestants together in daily life, especially in housing and education; further recognises that these two communities are deeply segregated from each other; notes that only six per cent. of children attend integrated schools which seek to promote mutual understanding; and urges policy-makers to make increasing the size of the integrated education sector a far greater priority.

Signatures by party: Labour 17, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 1, Independent 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1, UUP 1.
