> Trois scenarii seraient évoqués par le cabinet de la ministre de l’Education Caroline Désir (PS) dans ce document adopté à la veille de Noël et présenté vendredi aux pouvoirs organisateurs de l’officiel.
> Un, la suppression pure et simple des cours philosophiques au bénéfice de deux heures d’éducation à la philosophie et la citoyenneté.
> Deux, deux heures d’éducation à la philosophie et la citoyenneté et, au choix, une heure d’éducation à la philosophie et la citoyenneté ou religion/morale.
> Trois, deux heures d’éducation à la philosophie et la citoyenneté pour tout le monde et une heure de religion/morale à titre optionnel. Selon Le Soir, c’est ce troisième scénario qui est privilégié par le gouvernement.
Outsider perspective here, I never had philosophy, religion or morality classes in school (those were for the parents to teach), but we did indeed have citizenship class.
It’s basically a class about government: we learned about early democracies, how the government functions (the basics), what a political party is, how an idea progresses into a law, as well as stuff about active citizenship, duties/responsibilities (like voting), privileges, and what happens When Democracy Goes Wrong™ – such as issues related to corruption, dictatorships, extremist movements, nationalism, etc.
The class was given in Grade 10 – so Secondary IV (4th year of secondary school), around 15-16 years old.
Definitely could be a good thing tbh.
cant stop me
Still wonder why there is no mandatory cooking class, could do no harm to our health and healthcare finance.
Morality classes were a joke anyway. We just watched movies, those teachers had no control over the kids and they did not care if we went to class or not, so we never went. I went to 3 different high-schools and it was the same thing in all of them.
Th education system in wallonia is pure trash. Even college (not university) was a terribly disappointing experience for me.
