Assessment of petition regarding amendment of the Act – the Education law with respect to the preamble

Summary/Abstract: The aim of the petition is to take a legislative initiative on the deletion from the preamble of the Education Law of the phrase: “respecting the Christian system of values”. The implementation of the proposal falls within the scope of the legislator’s discretion. However, in the opinion of the author, the argument in favour of removing this provision is not fully convincing. The diversity of teaching content present in the core curriculum is not an expression of violation or lack of respect for the values referred to in the preamble. On the contrary, it meets the primary goal of any school, which is to ensure the comprehensive development of each student.
