We consider it important that civic instruction be given at all stages of education. Teaching programmes in secondary schools should include national defence as a separate subject. We consider the retention and support of small rural schools important. The state must develop a programme to foster these schools. Religious Education is Important 1.
Religious education is one guarantee of a people's ethical and moral development.
Religious instruction must be recognised as a separate teaching subject. Religious instruction must be offered at all schools, but is voluntary for students. The content of religious instruction should be the principles and origins of Christianity and the introduction of the fundamentals and development of other religions and how these relate to cultural development. We value highly the role of the Christian church in integrating Estonian society. The state must support churches via taxation concessions and direct contributions for the renovation of church buildings and property.
