A discussion on the reintroduction of religious education in Bulgarian schools was held in Sofia

Religions will be studied from a cultural and historical perspective. A curriculum different from the current non-confessional curriculum should be developed, with a focus on the formation of values and virtues, said Minister of Education Krasimir Valchev. "This will not be a mandatory class in religious studies, but rather a compulsory class in upbringing", Krassimir Valchev added.
