The examination is proposed to be carried out by August 22.

Now, Remorenko Gazeta.ru told , the foundations of Orthodox culture are only one of the options of taught in the 4th grade of the subject "Fundamentals of religious cultures and secular ethics".

In May of the same year, the Moscow Patriarchate came up with the initiative to introduce the subject "Moral Foundations of Family Life" in grades 10-11.

Two months ago, it became known that accreditation to teachers of the foundations of the Orthodox culture will issue the dioceses of the Russian Orthodox Church .
