Religious education

Poland
In Poland, religious education is optional in state schools. Parents decide whether children should attend religion classes or ethics classes or none of them. As approximately 88% of Poles are Roman Catholic, selecting "religion" classes is common. Children learn about Catholicism in school. This has produced disputes about religious intolerance. Since 2007 grades from religion (or ethics) classes are counted towards the grade point average.
