Debate Over Bible Teaching and School Grants 1871
A Welsh and national education policy discussion centers on Bible instruction in schools, teacher qualifications, and the new education code. Opponents warn against sectarian bias while supporters argue for day-by-day teaching and broader access, with strong appeals to nonconformist and Catholic interests. The letter from the Central Nonconformist Committee urges amendments to limit public grants to denominational schools and protect secular, community-controlled education.
