Bishop Wojciech Osial advocates for choice in Polish school religion lessons
Bishop Wojciech Osial, chairman of the Catholic Education Commission, is advocating for a genuine choice between religion and ethics lessons in Polish schools. He stated that the Polish Episcopate will continue to fight for the proper placement of religion lessons, the rights of parents and students, and the protection of religion teachers' rights.
Osial criticized recent decisions by the Ministry of National Education, describing them as harmful to school employees. Concerns have been raised regarding new educational restrictions, such as reducing religion instruction to one hour per week, scheduling lessons only at the beginning or end of the school day, and combining small classes into larger groups.
Additionally, the Bishop encouraged participation in the 16th Week of Education, held from September 13 to 19, under the theme 'Education and formation in the community of faith.'
