Attack of the Theocrats!
Especially welcome news about primary schools. Looking back to my education, the extremely moderate form of Christianity into which we were hermetically sealed simply made no room for anything other than supernatural answers to such questions of existence. Almost none of my teachers were scientifically (or mathematically) literate, but now they will have to face the issue of evolution head on. If implemented thoughtfully, many of our primary teachers may be in for a very pleasant shock when they find out just how interesting a subject it is.
