Schools from most sectors in the North – state-controlled, Catholic, integrated and grammar – have been red-flagged.
Many were placed into the “formal intervention process” after receiving poor inspection reports.
During this process, the schools must work to address areas for improvement identified. Staff can also be removed and sent for training.
The Northern Ireland Assembly was told that a total of 11 post-primary schools were deemed inadequate and were currently on a support programme. In addition, two secondary school teachers and a further two headteachers were all found to be unsatisfactory and are also receiving support.
The figures were revealed in response to a question by Danny Kinahan, vice-chairman of the assembly’s cross-party education committee.
