Religious Organizations Oppose Stricter Oversight of Evening and Weekend Schools in the Netherlands

Religious groups in the Netherlands are voicing opposition to a proposed law aimed at increasing oversight over informal education, particularly evening and weekend religious schools. The law is intended to prevent extremism and hate speech, but representatives from the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim communities argue it disproportionately infringes on religious freedom. Critics, including educational leaders, express concerns that the law could lead to mistrust among communities. The proposal is currently open for public consultation until January 7, 2024.
