Education bosses are accused of failing the children of Lurgan, as plans to close Craigavon Senior High School in the town are revealed.
The review was carried out in 2021 by Dr Noel Purdy and Dr Jonathan Harris from the Centre for Research in Educational Underachievement at Stranmillis University College.
As a result, it recommended that Lurgan Junior High School - which pupils currently leave at age 14 - should become a school for pupils up to the age of 16.But the department of education's permanent secretary has now decided to approve the Education Authority's proposal to close the Lurgan campus of CSHS and for it to operate in Portadown alone.
"As you can appreciate the decision has only been received by the school, planning will commence in the weeks and months to follow.""Successive education ministers have failed the children of Lurgan in the controlled sector by not making a decision earlier," she said.
