On October 16, a national scientific-practical conference titled
"Modern Religious Education Models in the Context of Traditions and
Global Challenges" is being held under the joint organization of
the State Committee on Religious Associations of the Republic of
Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan Institute of Theology, and Moral Values
Promotion Fund, Azernews reports.
Heads of state bodies, scientists, intellectuals, religious
figures, and public representatives participated in the conference,
which was organized to discuss the current situation in religious
education in our country, propose solutions to the challenges
faced, and exchange experiences among scientists and specialists in
this field.
Speaking at the event, Minister of Science and Education Emin
Amrullayev stated that delivering religious messages to students
under the guise of religious education is unacceptable. He
emphasized that parents should always monitor their children's
level of religious education.
"Because the door is closed in the classroom, and the teacher is
teaching his subject. But we don't know what is being instilled in
children in the name of religion."
After the official opening ceremony, the scientific-practical
conference will continue with panel discussions. Topics will
include "Religious Education in Azerbaijan: From the Past to the
Present," "Current Issues of Religious Education in a Secular
State," "Religious Education in Islamic Geography: Tradition and
Modern Challenges," and "Religious Education, Religious Teaching,
and Religious Practice," with participants delivering speeches on
these pressing topics.
