Fresh Start Funding for Integrated Education Capital Projects - Amendment 2
Leave out all from ‘duty to’ and insert:
‘aim to meet the demand for the provision of integrated education within the context of area planning and the overall sustainability of the school estate as set out in the Integrated Education Act 2022; welcomes the support of the Independent Review of Education for the extension of parental choice to the option of attending an integrated school or a jointly managed community school within a multi-sectoral context; believes that integrated and shared education are fundamental to our education sector, with societal benefits, and are vital to building a more shared and reconciled community; regrets the UK Government’s decision to remove ring-fencing from £150m in Fresh Start funding for new build integrated education projects; further notes the Minister of Education’s letter to the Secretary of State requesting funding for Fresh Start projects; calls on the UK Government to reverse its decision; and further calls on the Minister to seek to recommit capital funding to support new build integrated education projects as a matter of priority.’
