No more 2 fixed hours of religious lessons per week: almost 1,000 teachers will be given other positions at school

No more two fixed hours of religious lessons per week. A three-day per trimester or only one day per month is also allowed in official education from next school year. The Flemish government gives schools more freedom to organize philosophical subjects. With this reform, the government wants to save 100 million euros. But what exactly will that look like? And what does that mean for the thousands of religious teachers?
