Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education

About Us

The Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE) is a pioneering organization dedicated to promoting integrated education in Northern Ireland. Established in 1985, NICIE advocates for a system where children from different religious and cultural backgrounds learn together in a supportive environment.

Our mission is to foster understanding, respect, and cooperation among diverse communities through education. We believe that integrated education is essential for building a peaceful and inclusive society.

NICIE works closely with schools, parents, and policymakers to develop and implement integrated education practices. We provide resources, training, and support to schools to help them create inclusive environments that celebrate diversity.

We also engage in research and advocacy to influence educational policy and promote the benefits of integrated education at local and national levels. Our vision is to see a future where all children in Northern Ireland have the opportunity to learn in an integrated setting.

Through various initiatives, we aim to raise awareness about the importance of integrated education and its positive impact on social cohesion. NICIE is committed to ensuring that every child has access to quality education that respects their identity and promotes mutual understanding.

Join us in our journey towards a more integrated and harmonious society, where education serves as a bridge between communities.
