Spain Segundo de Primaria School Syllabus - Religion or Ethical Values

Religion:

The Spanish education system allows students to choose between Religion (primarily Catholic doctrine) and Ethical Values. Religion classes are voluntary. In public schools, religion is taught alongside ethical values. Some textbooks used for second grade Catholic religion include "Religión Católica 2º Primaria" and "Los Caminos del Saber." "Cristo en nosotros" is a blended learning program for grades 1-6. "Creemos Identidad católica" is a bilingual Catholic formation program for K-6. Digital resources are also available, such as those offered by BlinkShop.

Ethical Values:

Ethical Values (Valores Éticos) was introduced as a compulsory subject alongside religion, with new laws passed in 2020 making religion classes voluntary. This subject covers civic, ethical, environmental, and solidarity values. In secondary education, students can choose between religion and ethical values. The curriculum aims to provide moral and societal values.
