Northern Ireland Affairs Committee Funding Inquiry

The Northern Ireland Affairs Committee has launched an inquiry into education funding in Northern Ireland. The inquiry will examine whether the levels of funding allocated to education in the Northern Ireland Budget are sufficient to meet the challenges facing the sector, and what the spending priorities should be for the monies allocated to the NI Department of Education.  NAHT(NI) will be submitting written evidence to the inquiry. We also hope to participate in formal evidence sessions in the Autumn. 

The following survey is comprised of 8 questions based on the terms of reference of the inquiry. The answers we receive will inform our formal submission.  There is the option for respondents to remain anonymous, however if you would like to receive a copy of our submission or  if you would be interested in participating in an evidence session you can provide your details at the end of the survey. 

We take your privacy seriously. Personal data submitted to NAHT is subject to the General Data Protection Regulations. The way we use your personal information is set out in the NAHT privacy policy.

Please note that any information given will be for the sole use of NAHT.

We would encourage individuals to submit their own responses in addition to ours, further details are available at https://www.parliament.uk/business/committees/committees-a-z/commons-select/northern-ireland-affairs-committee/news-parliament-2017/education-funding-northern-ireland-launch-17-19/
