Answer

My Department funds NICIE to promote integrated education. Funding of £632,000 is being provided to NICIE in the 2015/16 financial year.

In addition, I am committed to ensuring my Department’s statutory duty to encourage and facilitate integrated education continues to be discharged fully, positively and proactively.

I am also currently considering the need for and scope of a future review of integrated education.
