Voters say they want politicians to back mixed schools…

WHEN 1,000 people were asked if they would like to see their political representatives support integrated education, 80% replied ‘yes’, according to a new survey. And 59% said they’d be more likely to vote for a party or candidate that supported mixed schools. While the survey probably overstates the influence of the issue on elections (for many voters there’s still only one issue!), parental demand for integrated education outstrips provision by around 1,000 places each year.

We are reader supported. Donate to keep Slugger lit!

For over 20 years, Slugger has been an independent place for debate and new ideas. We have published over 40,000 posts and over one and a half million comments on the site. Each month we have over 70,000 readers. All this we have accomplished with only volunteers we have never had any paid staff.

Slugger does not receive any funding, and we respect our readers, so we will never run intrusive ads or sponsored posts. Instead, we are reader-supported.
