Catholic Bishops' Conference discuss 14 - 19 Education at their Spring Conference Press Release from the Catholic Communications Service issued on 30th April 2004
Proposed Reforms of 14 - 19 Education
The Bishops' Conference welcomes and supports the work of the CES, and all in Catholic secondary education, engaging in debate, negotiation and action regarding the proposed reforms of 14-19 education. As bishops we recognise this moment as an opportunity to reflect upon the Catholic Church's contribution to secondary education and the particular vision and achievements Catholic schools and sixth form colleges bring. We ask the CES to continue to analyse and evaluate the implications and opportunities of the proposed reforms.
We express our thanks to all who are dedicated to the work of Catholic education, especially in the 14-19 years. We are committed to promoting our secondary schools not only as centres of educational excellence but also as providing public space in which the language of faith is regularly used and the experience of faith is shared.
