Interview

Abstract

Much of the opposition to faith sector education revolves around a number of accusations (as set out in Roger Marples' article in Part A). To confront these accusations openly, this interview is presented as an unmediated voice of a young person who is a former pupil of a faith school. He discusses selection, his reasons for going to a faith school and the religious exposure that he experienced there. He goes to talk about his unhampered role as a devil's advocate in a faith school, whether or not he felt he was being indoctrinated, the issue of fundamentalism and his own questioning stance.
