Text
Minister, I appreciate the answer, and I am glad that you are taking action in the area, albeit you did not quite touch on the contradiction between the two policies. I will ask a related question on the Programme for Government. You talked earlier about the importance of tackling educational underachievement, and you specifically mentioned working-class Protestant boys. Why is there not a specific target or intervention for addressing educational underachievement in the Programme for Government?

Assessment
Not analysed
This is the same MLA’s follow-up within the exchange on their own question. It is analysed together with that question and is not counted separately, so one question is never counted twice.
