Religious instruction, 1965

Submitted by: Barnet Branch 

The National Council of Women of GB in Conference assembled, expresses its appreciation of the provisions of the 1944 Education Act as they relate to Religious Education and the Act of Worship in County and Voluntary Schools, with the safeguards that exist for a pupil to be withdrawn from this where the parents so desire. The NCW believes that this is the right framework and asks the Department of Education and Science to give teachers who are undertaking this work every possible encouragement and help.
