Denominational Boards’ Input Critical for Recommendations on the Way Forward for SEA and the Concordat
The Ministry of Education has noted the concerns shared in the media, that Denominational Boards are not represented on the Committee formed to make specific recommendations on the way forward for SEA and the Concordat. The Ministry of Education takes this opportunity to express that the Denominational Boards of Education are our key stakeholders, and will form part of an important sub-group that the substantive committee will engage.
Representation is present on the committee from religious bodies and denominational schools, and further clarification and refining of feedback from Boards, received during the National Consultation of 2020, will be a critical part of the committee s work, which involves examination of the very agreement by which the Boards schools are governed.
