    "content": "Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no need for a policy from the Ministry because the Education Act, 1968, is very explicit. Section 26(1) says:- “If a parent of a pupil at a public school requests that the pupil be wholly or partly excused from attending religious worship and religious instruction in the school, the pupil shall be excused such attendance until the request is withdrawn.” Section 26(2) says: “Whereas the parent of a pupil at a public school wishes the pupil to attend religious worship, or religious instruction of a kind, which is not provided in the school, the school shall provide such facilities as maybe practicable for the pupil to receive religious instruction and attend religious worship of the kind desired by the parent.” Therefore, everybody is not exempt from this rule. This Education Act, 1968 is still in force until we amend it."
