private schools and the Church to support Galician Rouco Varela to say that this subject is "discrimination" and call for alternative material has set the contents by law
Those not enrolled in Religion must attend educational welfare, a subject whose own school setting and in which students analyze the media, advance homework or even have free time. Archbishop Rouco Varela reported the situation to ensure that "discriminates" the students who choose the religious path. The heads of private schools Galician give the reason and request that the alternative is a subject with a preset agenda in advance
A serious subject, with levels set in a program and where students acquire a academic knowledge. This is the proposal from private schools and the Church asked Galician for those students who wish to enroll in religion and they want to keep this matter further "discrimination" in schools, as he claimed this week the president of the Episcopal Conference, Antonio Rouco Varela, who warned that Spain violated the agreements with the Holy See in education. "We argue that parents are free to choose whether their children are studying a religion, Catholic or other, but if this subject is included in the school curriculum should be treated like any other, something that does not happen now," says president Association of Private Education Center A Coruña, José Antonio Moar.
Controversy comes from 2006 when it enters into force the new Education Act which states that religion is a compulsory subject for schools but voluntary for students. Education Services become the alternative to religious subjects, but the provision does not determine its contents but leaves a free choice of schools.
Something that practice makes this matter in a wastebasket, where students analyze the daily press forward their homework or just have free time. "This situation leads to some discrimination among students because while enrolled in Religion must go to class, do homework and assessed no fellow, "says Moar." This subject breaks the agreements with the Holy See because there is a serious subject, and containing established, "the vicar of education of the Archdiocese of Santiago, Luis Otero.
Both support the Rouco Varela critical to the regulation of that alternative. "The government is moving between the indefinite and at the end, not content to anyone. Religion does not remove curriculum because it would go against the agreement with the Vatican but also treats it as a further optional, "says Moar, who said:" It's the only one that is no problem. If someone does not want to study Modern History, For example, there are other similar matters. But with religion, it seems the only option is to lose an hour. "The same opinion from the Vicariate of education. The solution is to replace Education Services for History and Culture of Religions. An alternative to the religious class which will ensure that all students follow an agenda and that they do not finish school hours free time.
