Integrated Schools

HC Deb 16 June 1994 vol 244 c650W

23. Ms Hoey

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what support he is giving to integrated schools.

Mr. Ancram

Integrated schools receive 100 per cent. recurrent funding immediately and become eligible for 100 per cent. capital grants when viability is confirmed. In March 1994, the Department of Education for Northern Ireland provided a £1 million grant to the integrated education fund for the development of integrated education. This is in addition to annual grant aid of some £250,000 to the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education.
