Catholic schools reflect the diversity of contemporary society. Abolishing Catholic schools in an attempt to end sectarianism would be simplistic and superficial. Sectarian, like racial discrimination is not taught in schools but learned in homes. The shared values inherent in Catholic education are aimed at forming well-rounded children who can make a valuable contribution to society. The 'debate' over the role of Catholic schools in sustaining bigotry is a particularly Scottish phenomenon.
Catholic schools exist world-wide without having to defend their raison d'etre continually.
