<div>Dear Department of Education,</div><div><br>I am writing as part of your Integrated Education consultation to demand a far stronger Integrated Education Strategy.</div><ul><li>The current strategy only has targets for 3 of the 25 benchmark areas. Please create targets for key areas, including meeting the demand for Integrated Education, creating additional places in Integrated schools, boosting numbers of existing schools ‘transforming’ to Integrated status.<br><br></li><li>The strategy lacks the ambition to live up to the requirements of the Integrated Education Act, now over 3 years old. Please create a more ambitious strategy, with the resources necessary to implement it.<br><br></li><li>Many smaller Catholic and Protestant schools are closing due to low numbers. Please produce a strategy with a clear plan to create sustainable community schools by facilitating transformation for these unsustainable schools into Integrated schools.</li></ul><div>The overwhelming majority of people in Northern Ireland want more Integrated Education - please act to meet the demand with a real strategy.</div><div> </div>
