The Presbyterian Primary Schools' Board of Education (PPSBE) has made it clear that it will strongly resist any attempt to erode its rights under the Concordat.

The board and the Presbyterian Church (PCTT) issued a joint statement in response to the recent High Court ruling by Justice Westmin James on the dispute over changes in the recruitment process for teachers in denominational primary schools.

In its statement on March 14, the board maintained it will not passively accept policies or administrative decisions that threaten its ability to maintain the quality of Presbyterian education.
