Religious curriculum to be removed
The government of Quebec is about to eliminate its Ethics and Religious Culture (ERC) curriculum, the Catholic News Service reports.
In announcing a public consultation about what should replace the programme, education minister Jean-François Roberge (pictured) said there was still “too much” religion in schools.
This revision process “is part of the government’s desire to offer students a modern citizenship education course based on respect for oneself and others,” he said.
