RE TEACHERS
We can state our satisfaction with the approval
of the amendment on religious education teachers.
RE teachers in Spain are indefinite since the

It is to be hoped, for the good of one and all,
and with the consensus of all the interested
parties - the Administration, religious entities
and teachers representatives, that this new
statue for religious education teachers will be
correctly developed
