10:06Now PlayingThe United Nations has issued a stinging rebuke to the United Kingdom’s faith-based school admission policies. In its report, the UN Committee on the Rights of the Child urged UK schools to cease using religion as a selection criterion and advocated for various other reforms, including abolishing mandatory collective worship and allowing students to opt out of religious classes without parental consent. This move has ruffled feathers among religious leaders, with Paul Barber, Director of the Catholic Education Service, labeling the report as “illiberal” and asserting that “Catholic schools are more ethnically diverse and serve more of the pupils from the most deprived backgrounds than the state sector.” Former bishop of Rochester, Monsignor Michael Nazir-Ali, accused the report of being a “secular-inspired” attack on faith schools. In contrast, Megan Manson from the National Secular Society heralded the report, urging the British government to heed its findings. The UK’s Department For Education countered the report, with a spokesperson stating, “Like all other mainstream state-funded schools, faith schools must admit all children who apply, without reference to faith, where there are places available.”
