This international conference takes places during the centenary year of a major event in Scottish educational history. The Education (Scotland) Act of 1918 brought Catholic (and other denominational) schools in Scotland into the state system of education and thus pioneered a model of schooling which remains significant for its bringing together of Church and state in the common endeavour of universal education. With this important historical event as a backdrop, the conference will draw together experts from a wide range of disciplines united in their commitment to explore issues relating to Catholicism’s contribution to contemporary culture and education.
