A programme to support greater integration through education in Northern Ireland will be set up by the UK government, according to NI Secretary Brandon Lewis.
He will comment on the move when addressing a conference centred on Northern Ireland on Wednesday.
The event, set up by the NI Office (NIO) and government agency Wilton Park, runs for three days.
It is titled A More Confident and Inclusive Northern Ireland.
He will tell attendees that the demand for integrated education is not currently being met.
