Endowed Schools Act reform clash over denominational exemptions
Debate centers on Clauses 14 and 19 of the 1869 Endowed Schools Act and whether cathedral, Quaker, and Moravian endowments should be brought under new governing rules. Opponents warn of confiscation risks to private foundations and litigation, while supporters cite equity and public benefit, urging caution before altering the commission’s remit.
