Who can take Ethics?
“The parents of children and young people have the right to decide that their child does not follow Catholic Religious Education. For young people opting out of Catholic Religious Education, it is recommended that the Religious Education
learning area will consist of an Ethical Education programme”.
National Curriculum Framework (2012, p. 36)

Who can take Ethics?
Anyone who opts out of religion has to take ethics.
Ethics is not just for foreign students. It is taught in Maltese and
English.
Ethics can be taken by children coming from all denominations
including the Roman Catholic faith.
It is irrespective of whether children attend doctrine lessons after
schools. Children can still do their First Holy Communion and
Confirmation if they take ethics at school.
Children can still participate in all religious activities at school if
they wish to do so.
