04 April 2007 14:14 (UTC +04:00)

Orujov said that there are enough religious schools and Universities in Azerbaijan that teach religion, and he regards that private subject connected with national-moral values can be taught in secondary schools.
â€œSuch subject has already been prepared. This is book named â€œLife knowledgeâ€. Both national-moral values and religious values were reflected in this bookâ€, Orujov said.
Orujov also said that secondary schools in Azerbaijan are not ready to teach religion, and it is connected with the staff insufficiency.
â€œThere are not enough specialists in the religious sector. There are several vacancies at the committee leaded by me. These places are vacant as there are not enough religious specialistsâ€, he added. /APA/
