Russia Makes Religious Education Mandatory in Schools
Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a new bill into law that makes religious education mandatory for all schools in the country.
The legislation concerns a course on the fundamentals of religion that will be taught at all schools, The Moscow Times reported, although it did not specify which religions will be discussed in classrooms. The law also makes a number of long-awaited changes for Russia's teachers, such as stipulating a minimum salary that is directly related to the economy of the region in which they work. Educators who have to travel to rural areas as part of their job will also be entitled to compensation for their expenses.
The law which includes the clause on religious education was approved by the Federation Council on Dec. 26, and will go into effect on Sept. 1, 2013.
