Abstract

[The purpose of the Education (Scotland) Act, 1918, was to make adequate provision for the organisation of national education in Scotland short of the universities. The 1918 Act would see Catholic schools transfer into the Scottish system. But how would the 1918 Act work in practice? Mechanisms had to be agreed, and some provisions of the Act defined and clarified by legal interpretation. However, a desire to maintain the religious character of the schools is the recurrent link between the pre- and post-1918 periods. The primary moral responsibility of educating children to adulthood belongs to the parents, but the Church and State must cooperate to ensure that parents are truly free to choose, according to their conscience, the schools they want for their children.]
