Produktbeschreibung

This text is an accessible overview of the debates, issues, and practicalities of faith-based education. It sets out the challenges and opportunities of different approaches to faith schools and addresses the choices faced by parents in our plural and multicultural communities, as well as the education investment and development currently undertaken by faith schools. Finally, the case is presented for and against faith schools, with a summary chapter attempting to provide the way forward for the debate. The book addresses the concerns, questions, and interest surrounding the legitimacy, support, and intended expansion of faith schools in the UK. It sets out the historical and legal background of the establishment of such schools within the framework of state comprehensive educational provision and discusses the reason it is difficult to jettison these at present.
