Archbishop’s Protest On Indian Education Plan

TRIVANDRUM (India) — Archbishop Mar Ivanios, Ordinary of the Malankara Rite in the Archdiocese of Trivandrum, has openly lodged a protest against the new educational plan fostered by the Government of the State of Travancore-Cochin.

He claims that the plan is dangerous to the present Catholic school system and would give the Government too great a control over the conduct of privately owned school systems and their properties.

Archbishop Mar Ivanios, who was in Australia for the centenary of the Archdiocese of Melbourne in 1948, is an educator in his own right.
