• This chapter presents a series of recent institutional developments in the field of religious education that have further pushed progressive theologians to discuss the religion class and initiate changes. It deals with the creation in May 2010 of a new association of theologians named KAIROS - Greek Theological Association for the Improvement of Religious Education. The chapter discusses changes in the religion class and textbooks as part of the development and implementation of a new national curriculum which was named Programme of Study (PS); it was issued in September 2011 but will apparently not be fully implemented until the 2014-2015 school year. The debate on religious education was reactivated in 1995 following the State Council's decision to grant pupils the right to be exempted from religious education. In 2008, the debate on religious education re-emerged after the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, in an attempt to comply with the recommendations by the EU.
