First published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
This book examines the effects of faith schools on social cohesion
and inter-ethnic relations. Faith schools constitute approximately
one third of all state-maintained schools and two fifths of the
independent schools in England. Nevertheless, they have
historically been, and remain, controversial. In the current social
climate, questions have been raised about the ability of faith
schools to promote Community Cohesion and, included within that,
their ability to promote tolerance. This book explores one aspect
of the debate by examining the effect that faith schools have on
their students' attitudes of tolerance. As well as asking what
differences exist between students in faith and non-faith schools,
it also looks at which aspects of the schools might be affecting
the students and their attitudes towards different minorities. The
book is a must-read for students and researchers in the fields of
education and religious studies, as well as anyone with an interest
in the place of faith schools in a modern multicultural society.
