An independent authority's board member has spoken out in support of a group of Opus Dei-aligned Sydney schools, despite the New South Wales premier having asked the authority to investigate.
abc.net.au/news/opus-dei-aligned-schools-praised-ahead-of-four-corners/101903470Despite the New South Wales premier having asked the authority to investigate allegations raised by Four Corners that misinformation had been taught to students, a board member of the New South Wales Education Standards Authority has spoken out in support of a group of Opus Dei-aligned Sydney schools.
He also said the schools were "good local schools" and are "doing good work on behalf of their students and families". "Given that the statutory legal authority — NESA — has announced an investigation, it is improper that a member of the NESA board has made comments on the matter that could be construed as prejudicial to that investigation," Mr Gavrielatos said."NESA has a statutory, legal responsibility to examine these matters thoroughly, as it has done at other schools in the past," he said.
In a statement, a spokesperson for NESA said: "All investigations are carried out by staff independent of the board." However, NESA's complaints policy dictates that people with complaints about independent schools must first raise those complaints with the school board.
