If we believe in denominational education and the rights of people to run private educational institutions, we must accept that those institutions must have a right to maintain their ethos. While observing due equality for all in the teaching profession, we can sometimes query whether the religious ethos of one institution requires more significant treatment of employees at the recruitment stage than other schools. I am of the view that a Jewish school should be entitled to give preference to Jewish teachers, a Catholic school to Catholic teachers, a Protestant school to Protestant teachers and a non-denominational school, if it so wished, to people who are liberal free thinkers and do not fit into any category.
