PRIME Minister Stuart Young says issues relating to the Concordat were discussed when he met with the leaders of religious organisations at Whitehall on March 19 to discuss reform of the education system.

He made this comment at a post-Cabinet news conference at Whitehall on March 20.

The Concordat is a 1960 agreement between the government and religious bodies (Presbyterian, Muslim, Hindu, Anglican, and Catholic) that governs the relationship around denominational schools, ensuring their religious character and giving religious bodies control over curriculum and student selection.
