Answer

The Education Authority monitors the levels of participation at the individual school level against a baseline established as part of a partnership application. Additionally, the proportion of schools which have partnered in shared education and the proportion of a school (one class, more than one class or whole school) involved in shared education are measured through the annual school omnibus survey.
