Under a new order from the Andrews government, religious instruction will no longer be a part of Victorian state school curriculum. As of next year, the controversial RI program will now be moved to lunchtime or before and after school, rather than taking place during standard school hours.

The class will be replaced by new content which will include world histories, cultures, faiths and ethics, as well as lessons that deal with the issues of domestic violence and respectful relationships.

Do you agree that state schools should remain secular? Do you think that the new content will be more beneficial to students?
