Therefore, it could also lead to schools being closed or merged in some areas where pupil numbers are falling.

For instance, the EA said that there was expected to be a fall in the number of primary-age children over the next decade, which would mean fewer primary schools are needed.

Some small rural schools have recently been earmarked for closure despite opposition from local communities.

The EA’s plans were drawn up with input from other bodies like the Council for Catholic Maintained Schools (CCMS), Comhairle na Gaelscolaíochta (CnaG), the Northern Ireland Council for Integrated Education (NICIE) and the Controlled Schools’ Support Council (CSSC).
