Bahá’í Education in State Schools
From Bahaipedia
Bahá’í Education in State Schools is a voluntary program provided by the Bahá’í community of Australia as an option for the Special Religious Education curriculum of Australian (public) state schools.[1] The program, open to students of all religions, is based on the Bahá’í Peace Pack curriculum that was approved by the State's Department of Education and Training starting in the 1980s. Some 6,000 primary school children, about 10% of Bahá’í families, among more than 300 state-run schools attended in 2007.[2][3]
