Zusammenfassung:"The Future of Publicly Funded Faith Schools addresses and critically examines the arguments both for and against the continued maintenance of faith-based schools within a publicly funded state system. Addressing the issue systemically, first grounding the discussion in the practical world of education before raising the central philosophical issues stemming from faith-based eduction, it provides a balanced synthesis of the different arguments surrounding faith schools. The book expounds upon the different threats facing faith-based schools, including their perceived potential to undermine social cohesion within a multicultural society, and the questioning of their right to receive public funding, and examines what these mean for their future. Examining these threats, it questions:What it means for a school to be 'faith-based'The nature of religious education both within and without a faith-based school environmentThe ethical, epistemological and political issues arising from faith-based educationThe concepts of the common good and social cohesionWhether there is possible reconciliation between opposing partiesThe Future of Publicly Funded Faith Schools makes a unique contribution to the literature in this area and is crucial reading for anyone interested in what the future holds for publicly funded faith schools including academics, researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of education, religious studies, policy and politics of education, sociology and philosophy."--Provided by publisher
