Do the churches play a leading role in bringing about change or do they get involved? It seems from reading from what has been said that the parents must prove that they want to change an existing school and to get a new school they must prove a future demand. Is that not quite an onerous task for parents? Do churches nationally or in the North play a leadership role in bringing about that change and moving to integrated education?
