The principal of the Liefering I elementary school in the city of Salzburg has planned to divide the three first-grade classes according to the students' religious affiliation starting this fall and to introduce a purely Catholic class. This would guarantee two hours of religious instruction per week, she explained to the "Salzburger Nachrichten" (SN, Wednesday edition). Education Director Rudolf Mair rejects the plan, as he confirmed to the APA.
