Mauritania highlights religious education
[MAGHAREBIA] Mauritania just approved an increase in the time allocated for Islamic and religious education (IMCR) in secondary schools.As a result of the decision by the education minister, religion will now be a compulsory subject for the baccalaureate. The November 4th move, which was welcomed by pupils and civil society organisations, aims at initiating young people into a moderate, middle-ground form of Islam, teaching the virtues of the religion and avoiding false interpretations that lead to extremism.
