Providing Pathways 2017-2020, is the first ever regional area plan for education in Northern Ireland.
It replaces the work that was being undertaken by the former area boards, which merged to form the Education Authority last year.
The plan aims to ensure that all pupils have access to a broad and balanced curriculum that meets their needs in sustainable schools. These must be of the right type, of the right size and located in the right place.
The focus of the plan is “on the educational interests of children and young people”.
The nature of the Northern Ireland education system, with its range of school management types, means that in proportion to the number of pupils to be provided school places, there is a higher number of individual schools than would be the case in other jurisdictions.
