QUB Welcomes £58m Investment Announcement
Queen’s University has welcomed an announcement by the First and deputy First Minister of a £58m investment in three key areas, including £25m for the Shared Education Signature Programme.
The Office of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister (OFMDFM) announced a £58m investment this week to deliver improved services for parents, shared education and support for people with dementia and their carers.
Over £33m is being provided by the Northern Ireland Executive and £24.65m by Atlantic Philanthropies.
Queen’s University’s Vice-Chancellor Professor Patrick Johnston said: "This is a good news day for Northern Ireland and for Shared Education. I welcome the continued support of The Atlantic Philanthropies and OFMDFM in helping realise this initiative.
"The shared commitment of Queen’s University and The Atlantic Philanthropies to overcome the division created by our current separate education system has resulted in this sea-change in educational policy.
"Since 2006, over 15,000 pupils from over 130 schools have engaged in sustained and structured contact through the Sharing Education Programme, which has been led by the School of Education at Queen’s. The educational, economic and societal benefits of this continuing initiative have been ground-breaking."
