Towards a culture of tolerance: Integrating Education (TACOT:IE)

The TACOT:IE working group was established in June 1998 to examine ways in which all schools could contribute further to the promotion of a culture of tolerance as outlined in the Belfast Agreement.

The final report takes into account recent developments in the education sector including the post-primary review, amendments to the curriculum, the advent of "A Shared Future", and the possible impact of the Review of Public Administration.

The Strategic Review of Education received a draft copy of this report and took on board the recommendations.  The TACOT:IE report has now been accepted by the Minister and who has agreed to it's publication on the Department's website.
