Education has nothing to do with religious beliefs. Catholics, Methodist, Anglican, Muslims have their Senior High Schools which their students are allowed to practice their religious beliefs.
Rastafarian Council are planning to establish their own school, so that they can also practice their religious beliefs.
Schools cannot endorse or advance a particular religion, but they also cannot inhibit the expression of religious belief. As a general rule, students may pray on school grounds as long as the prayer is entirely initiated and led by students and does not use school resources.
Religious Observance is defined as follows: “Community acts which aim to promote the spiritual development of all members of the school's community and express and celebrate the shared values of the school community.
Reasonable religious accommodation is any adjustment to the school environment that will allow students to practice their religious beliefs. This applies not only to schools, work environment.
