Mar 17 - Students Who Opt Out Of R.E Will Now Have Alternative GCSE
The Secular Humanist Society Gibraltar (SHSG) has announced that, as from this year, students who choose not to study R.E at GCSE will now be offered the alternative of a GCSE in General Studies. Although the group claims that this shows that R.E is no longer considered a ‘compulsory’ GCSE course, the Government has flatly denied this saying that it continues to be considered a core subject which remains compulsory for all pupils. It is only “in exceptional circumstances on the grounds of conscience or religious beliefs” that students may opt out of taking this subject.
In accordance with their 2014 Business Plan released last week, Gibraltar Finance will be attending, exhibiting and speaking at the Family Wealth Management and Structuring Conference, commonly referred to as FWM, organised by Campden Wealth Ltd. Local industry representatives will be attending and supporting this event.
