In Northern Ireland, many schools provide education to children from diverse cultural, religious, socio-economic and ability backgrounds. While all schools promote mutual tolerance and respect between those from different community backgrounds and cultures, there are some schools that are officially recognised as Integrated Schools.
An Integrated School is legally defined as a school that actively promotes an environment of diversity and respect. This includes respect and understanding between individuals of different cultures, religious beliefs (including those with none), socio-economic backgrounds, and abilities.
If you were deciding where to send your child/children to school, would you prefer an Integrated school?
We welcome responses from everyone and not just those with school aged children.
