Dept of Education had proposed state supervision for Sunday Schools as well as Madrassas to fight terrorism

Following the publication of the findings from the Department for Education’s consultation on out-of-school education, the Church of England’s Chief Education Officer, the Revd Nigel Genders, said:

We welcome the Government’s response to the consultation and the proposals to focus resources and energy on the areas of most concern rather than creating unhelpful bureaucracy.

We will go on working with Government on any proposal that would achieve this outcome.
