Ep 21: Integrated education in Northern Ireland - interview
Posted: Mon, 13 Jan 2020
In this episode, Emma Park speaks with Maddy Bridgman and Sam Fitzsimmons of the Integrated Education Fund, a charity that supports inclusive, integrated education (not segregated into de facto Protestant and Catholic schools) in Northern Ireland.
Maddy and Sam discuss the IEF's campaign to support an integrated school system, and outline some of the difficulties the IEF has faced, both political, administrative and structural.
They also discuss positive signs that school students who attend integrated schools are benefiting from the tolerant and inclusive ethos that these schools promote.
