Up to 10 new shared campuses are being created as part of the Northern Ireland Executive’s Together Building a United Community initiative.
The aim is to provide money to schools to facilitate and deliver sharing. It is expected this will see the creation of massive campuses where schools will be co-located and share infrastructure.
Work has begun by government to bring forward one such campus in the North.
Schools in Omagh are relocating to the former military barracks at Lisanelly on the outskirts of the town in a £130 million redevelopment.
Education minister John O’Dowd says the proposed Lisanelly campus provides a valuable model for how shared learning opportunities can be structured. It is only one of many models that will be considered, he adds.
