Talk:Religious education in Romania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Although education was an area where churches registered success in the early stages of post-communist transition, religious education has remained understudied. <this last phrase is utterly confusing. What does it mean for religious education to be "understudied"? Not enough students in such classes? Or the problem has been insufficiently looked at (and, if so, by whose standards)?> quote Jmabel
- I meant to say not researched, not much taken until now in consideration for study, research, etc. Bonaparte talk 20:41, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
Sounds to me like the two of you don't agree what it means. You've each opted for one of the two possible readings I suggested. Please, work out what you want to say and say it, because the current wording is absolutely ambiguous. And, preferably, cite for your claim: Bonaparte's, especially, would be opinion (since it postulates some deserved amount of study, whereas Ronline's meaning has a clear point of comparison) and would therefore pretty much require citation and attribution. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:55, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Current situation
As far as I know, the current structure is that religion is an optional, ungraded subject in both primary and secondary school. Students can opt out of studying religion - those that do study non-religious Ethics curricula, so it's not compulsory in primary schools (this would violate both freedom of religion provisions and Romanian secular legislation, since Romania has no national church). Religion is offered in all of the 15 denominations depending on demand.
