Religious education treaty passes amidst protests

A STRONG majority of 95 MPs voted in favour of a much-disputed treaty with the Vatican that will make religion a mandatory option for study in Slovak elementary and secondary schools for students aged six to 18 years.Under the treaty, children who do not want to study religion will have to choose ethics instead. Until now, this choice has only been mandatory for children aged 10 to 16. The new religious education classes will start with the new school year in September 2004.
