Department won't comment on Creationism in schools

The Department of Education and Children says it won't be commenting further after revealing Creationism is taught in Island schools.

The information emerged in response to a freedom of information request made to the department.

In its reply, it said the belief is being taught or discussed in 21 out of the Island's 37 schools - and in 11 cases by people other than teachers.

The DEC says it doesn't want to comment on the figures.
