Who is running it

Integrated Education Fund

The Integrated Education Fund (IEF) is a charity that supports the establishment of new Integrated schools, the growth of existing Integrated schools and those schools seeking to become Integrated through the Transformation process. The IEF's vision is for a society where our children and young people increasingly learn together at the same schools, regardless of their religion, cultural identity, socio-economic background or academic ability. Integrated schools provide a high quality education and a learning experience where children of all backgrounds can learn with, and from, one another.
