Baha'i Education in Australia

Baha'i Education in State Schools in Australia:

"The Australian Baha'i community provides Baha’i education classes in many public primary schools under the “Special Religious Education” or “Scripture” program. Students from all religious backgrounds are welcome to attend (with their parents’ permission) and many currently do.

The classes assist children to develop their spiritual nature, complementing the material and physical education provided by schools. Based on the teachings of Baha'u'llah, the classes emphasise the development of spiritual attributes or virtues and attempt to foster in students the knowledge, skills, understandings and values required to be world citizens. Students are encouraged to embrace the oneness of humankind in all its diversity.
