Morning Extra: Should Catholic children get priority in Catholic schools?

Should Catholic children get priority in Catholic schools?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, Should Catholic children get priority in Catholic schools?

Is a Catholics-only rule a better idea than restricting the catchment of a popular school?

With plans to restrict the catchment of a popular Catholic school, is it acceptable for a Bishop to argue that priority be given to Catholics instead? Graham Stewart takes your calls.

Plans to restrict the catchment area of one of Scotland's most successful Catholic high schools has angered parents. The Bishop of Paisley says the solution is to give Catholic pupils priority access to St Ninian's in Giffnock. Is this fair? Or should schools funded by the taxpayer be open to everyone, regardless of religious background?
