Abstract

Denominational secondary schools in Scotland have been an influential means by which Catholics have achieved full social citizenship. Most of the Catholic population of Scotland has its origins in late-nineteenth-century migration from Ireland into low-skilled occupations. Although the church built a system of Catholic primary schools, it could not afford to extend this for secondary education, and so a compromise of 1918 allowed the state to take over the funding and management of almost all Catholic schools while the church retained a role in appointing teaching staff. The resulting public-sector secondary schools provided the Catholic population with unprecedented opportunities. The patterns of social and educational change affecting Catholic schools are studied here using a unique series of surveys of school leavers covering the whole of the second half of the twentieth century.

摘要

苏格兰的地方中学是天主教徒获得充分社会公民地位的一种有影响的手段。苏格兰的大多数天主教人口起源于19世纪末从爱尔兰移民到低技能的职业。尽管教会建立了天主教小学体系，但它无法将其扩展到中学教育，因此1918年的妥协使该州可以接管几乎所有天主教学校的资金和管理，而教会仍在任命教学人员。由此产生的公立中学为天主教徒提供了前所未有的机会。
