22.10.2024, Tallinn. At a public session of the Riigikogu's Cultural Affairs Committee, the status of religious education as a compulsory subject in Estonian general education schools was discussed. While some experts advocate having a separate lesson in the curriculum for religious education, there were also those who favor better integration of the subject into the curricula of other humanities subjects.
