Shared education brings pupils from Catholic, Protestant and other backgrounds together on a regular basis for joint classes and activities, but its funding has been cut in half:
Shared education involves pupils from separate schools and different backgrounds coming together for joint classes and activitiesFunding for schools to bring pupils from different religions and backgrounds together is to be cut by 50% from September.Hundreds of schools which take part face getting only half of the funding they received during 2022/23.The letter to principals also said there was no funding available for shared education from the Department of Education after April 2024.
It is different to integrated education, but integrated schools can take part in shared education partnerships with other schools.Pupils from each school attend classes and other activities in the other school on a regular basis.The department provided funding of around £5m a year for schools working together in Shared Education partnerships.
"We recognise that this will be detrimental to the level of activity that can be provided to children and young people," it added.
