Today marks 45 years since Lagan College, the first Integrated school in Northern Ireland, opened its doors. Lagan College was pioneered by a group of brave parents who simply wanted their children to be educated together. This remains the desire of the majority of parents in NI today.

Having reviewed the report, the IEF would contend that the 2 significant Department-sponsored surveys, as well as the views of parents in Transformation ballots, & oversubscription at a number of Integrated schools, provides clear evidence of unmet demand at both a societal & behavioural level.
