How the Catholic church has managed to co-opt the state school system in Scotland.
You're a newly qualified teacher and you've just seen an advert for a new teaching post at your local state school. You're eager to apply. But not so fast. Like one in five public schools in Scotland this is a Catholic school, so there are going to be some extra hurdles. You might think that all you need is your expertise and willingness to put pupils' interests first. But in fact those things might be a disadvantage as the archbishop of Glasgow, Philip Tartaglia, recently told teachers you should "prioritise the Catholic mission of your school over other considerations".
