The Herald reports that the teaching of moral values in Scottish schools and their link with religion is being ignored by the ongoing review of the curriculum, the Catholic Church warned yesterday.

Senior church figures said that unless the Scottish Executive's Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) spelt out how values were going to be taught there was a danger they might disappear from the classroom.

While aimed primarily at denominational schools, the Catholic Church hopes that its new reource, called Values for Life, will be used by other schools who want to develop value-based education.
