£140m Allocated To Develop SSEC Project In Omagh
A total of £140 million has been allocated to help develop the Strule Shared Education Campus (SSEC) Project in Omagh.
NI's Secretary of State Karen Bradley confirmed the news during a visit to the site on Monday, 18 June.
The Strule Project will be the largest shared educational campus in Northern Ireland, bringing together over 4,000 pupils, in a vibrant and unique campus environment.
She said: "UK Government funding will help support integrated and shared education in Northern Ireland and break down barriers through cohesion to give young people the valuable skills they need to succeed.
"Our strong commitment has been demonstrated in recent years in the 2013 Economic Pact with the Executive and in both the Stormont House and Fresh Start Agreements.
"It is our ambition that we ensure all young people can benefit from a high-class education and fulfil their potential, irrespective of their background.
"The Strule project demonstrates the huge importance of devolved Government in Northern Ireland to drive forward projects like this for the benefit of the whole community.
"It is clear that people in Northern Ireland want local politicians in place working hard to deliver and drive transformation across the education sector and wider public services to create a Northern Ireland fit for the future. A restored Executive is also urgently needed to give Northern Ireland the best possible chance of building on further opportunities such as the devolution of corporation tax rates."
