    Faith schools quota plan scrapped

    The government says schools can help prevent social division
    Plans to force new faith schools in England to select more pupils from other religions are to be scrapped, Education Secretary Alan Johnson says.

    The legislation was now unnecessary after a voluntary agreement with the Catholic Church for up to 25% of places to go to non-Catholic pupils, he said.
    That didn't last long... and why is the The RC church the only one targeted? surely it is the muslim schools that need 'opening' up-not that any non-muslim would consider sending their kids there

      The Cof E schools already operate a policy of letting in other faiths, and teach the kids about other religions - mind you, in large parts of rural England, they are the only providers of primary education, so they probably had their arm twisted by local government
