Gove open to atheist schools
#17
RE: Gove open to atheist schools
If it is privately funded then how come it is called a public school?

Public schools here in Holland are paid for by the ministry of education and are accountable to that ministry. We do have faith based schools but they still have to uphold a standard where in order to keep their teaching privileges their students must have the same passing threshold as public schools via a national exam. So every school gets exams with the exact same questions as the other schools, regardless of faith. This also ensures that the students have the same skill set to go to different higher education schools once they graduate and not be behind.
Best regards,
