The government has announced a number of changes to religious education classes in schools, which are to come into effect from September 2025. Among other things, they assume organizing classes so that they take place at the beginning or end of the day. This will prevent students who do not attend them from wasting time on “windows.” Despite this, there are still many voices that school is not a place where catechesis should take place. What do Gazeta.pl readers think about this?
What about religion in schools from September? Specific changes are coming
Everything indicates that from September 1, 2025, school students will face a number of changes, especially when it comes to catechesis. First of all, they are to be reduced from two to one per week, and during the course, groups will be combined, which will make them easier to organize. In addition, the grade for religion and ethics will not be included in the average, and the classes themselves are to take place only at the beginning or end of the lesson. It turns out that the ideas raise many objections, as you can read in the article published on the eDziecko portal.
