The Government welcomes the publication of this long-awaited report, which delivers on a commitment agreed to in the New Decade, New Approach Agreement. We will take time to consider the findings of the report, however, we are clear that education, its funding and any potential transformation or reform of education in Northern Ireland are matters that a restored Northern Ireland Executive should be gripping.<\/p>

The Fresh Start Agreement in 2015 set out a commitment by the UK Government to release up to £500m over ten years of new capital funding to support shared and integrated education and housing. This funding is subject to individual projects being agreed between the Northern Ireland Executive and the UK Government.<\/p>

<\/p>

HM Treasury\u2019s Block Grant Transparency confirms that over £196 million in Fresh Start Agreement (shared education and housing) funding has been transferred to the Northern Ireland Executive up to Mains 2023-24, with around £304 million remaining.

The Independent Review of Education was an important commitment made in the New Decade, New Approach Agreement, to be taken forward by the Northern Ireland Executive. It presents a real opportunity to ensure that Northern Ireland\u2019s education system works for all children and young people, and helps promote integration and reconciliation at its core.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government welcomes the establishment of the Review, the publication of its Terms of Reference and the completion of the recruitment process for the Panel. We hope this progress will continue and look forward to the Panel\u2019s findings, which will be for the Northern Ireland Executive to consider and take forward.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Government firmly believes that greater integration within Northern Ireland\u2019s education system is an essential aspect of the reconciliation process in Northern Ireland. That is why, as part of the Stormont House and Fresh Start Agreements, the Government committed to providing up to £500 million of funding to support shared and integrated education projects. The £400 million New Deal for Northern Ireland will also support initiatives to enable children from different community backgrounds to be educated together.<\/p>

It is important that we deliver excellent education for our children and young people across the United Kingdom.<\/p>

<\/p>

The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland understands the pressures and decisions facing education centres across Northern Ireland. The Government has committed to publishing a report on or before 4 September 2019 on higher education provision in Northern Ireland.<\/p>

<\/p>

As education is devolved these matters are of course for an incoming NI Executive to consider. That is why securing a successful outcome to the talks process, so that a functioning NI Executive can be restored, is the Secretary of State\u2019s absolute priority.<\/p>
