SDP MP Willing to Teach Math to Pupils Who Don't Attend Religion
ZAGREB, Sept 16, 2020 - Social Democratic Party (SDP) lawmaker Arsen Bauk on Wednesday called on the Education Ministry to organise Religion classes in school timetables so that children who do not attend that optional subject should not stay in their classrooms during those classes.
Addressing the parliament on behalf of the SDP bench, Bauk said that with the organisation of classes in circumstances marked by the outbreak of coronavirus, some schools demand that children who do not attend Religion should remain in their classroom during that class.
"It is a horrible practice," said the SDP math teacher-turned-politician, adding that he was willing to teach those children math during those classes.
He called on the ministry to solve the issue and help avoid situations in which such children could feel "as second class pupils".
Bauk recalled that the children's ombudswoman Helenca Pirnat Dragicevic also stated that Religion classes should be scheduled as the first or the last period in a school timetable.
