Make Religious and Moral Studies not mandatory in high schools.
Religious and Moral Studies (also known as RME in some schools) is simply a subject designated to looking at different religions and moral issues. While in primary schools it can help children become aware of different religions and issues, it is a waste of 1 hour a week of high school pupil's time.
In all state schools in Scotland, RME is compulsory.

It is time that is wasted and many private schools realise this as they do not have RME for every year of education.
