Christian principles

Department to make Bible study compulsory for schools

This includes the elementary level right up to secondary schools.

Secretary for Community Development, Anna Solomon, said Bible study is vital for early childhood learning as it teaches Christian principles.

She said children must grow up in the kind of environment that will define respect; social issues like gender-based violence are all defined in the Bible.

If these principles are taught to children, goodness will be instilled in them at a young age so the Government wouldn’t work hard to create laws to protect people.
