Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to outline (i) when he will initiate the review of Education, (ii) how he will recruit for the independent panel to complete the review and; (iii) how he will provide appropriate funding to ensure the review is able to independently examine the best way to deliver a fit for purpose education system that is affordable, effective, efficient and sustainable.


Answer:
I will give consideration to the design and delivery of the Independent Review of Education provision as articulated in New Decade, New Approach.
It would, thereafter, be my intention to bring forward proposals to the Executive which would include detail on the timing of such a review, the methodology for recruiting an appropriate panel and the funding ramifications.
