7810 - SPECIAL RELIGIOUS EDUCATION OPT OUT NUMBERS

Hornery, Sonia to the Minister for Education
  1. Does the Department of Education monitor the number of students who opt out of special religious education?
    1. If so, how many students attending schools in the Wallsend electorate opted out of special religious education in the 2017 school year?
Answer -

I'm advised actual participation and attendance in Special Religious Education (SRE) at the school level changes frequently and does not reflect the data collected atenrolment . It is for this reason that data on the number of students participating in SRE classes is not kept centrally and is only available at the school level.
