Question:
To ask the Minister of Education pursuant to AQW 7732/16-21 and if there is no 'one size fits all' frequency, to outline how Section 7(3)(d) the level of participation in shared education and the extent to which there has been any increase or decrease in participation, be effectively monitored and reviewed.

Answer:

The Education Authority monitors the levels of participation at the individual school level against a baseline established as part of a partnership application. Additionally, the proportion of schools which have partnered in shared education and the proportion of a school (one class, more than one class or whole school) involved in shared education are measured through the annual school omnibus survey.
