|  Christianity studies introduced into Israeli schools Starting from this school year, high school students will be able to take matriculation exam in 'Christian religion.' Program currently open for Arab students only, but Education Ministry says will consider allowing Jewish pupils to take it as well Moran Zelikovich Published: 10.07.06, 23:57 Starting from the current school year, Arab students in Israel will be able to take a matriculation exam in "Christian Religion" studies. Some 30,000 Christian students attend schools in the country. While Muslim students will be allowed to take the Christian studies program, Jewish pupils are at this point prohibited from doing so. However, officials at the Education Ministry said that in the future, Jewish students may also be allowed to take the course. Chairman of the Pedagogical Branch at the Ministry, Prof. Anat Zohar, said that the program was only currently introduced into the education system's curriculum, and that the issue of offering the program to Jewish students "will be thoroughly examined and resolved in due course." The new matriculation program was designed as part of the compulsory religion studies in schools. A special committee that included representatives of all the Christian factions in Israel formulated the program, intended for 10th-12th grade students. The studies include a biography of Jesus and chapters dedicated to the church's structure, rules of conduct while inside a church, and prayers. The Education Ministry said that "religion studies are divided according to sectors, so that the Jewish sector studies Judaism, the Muslim sector – Islam, and the Christian Arab sector – Christianity."

| It would be better of everyone studied at least the basics of the other two just to show how similar or different it is and not to be so ignorant. its also interesting and just as important as learning history. | |||||||||||
