SEVENTY per cent of pupils attending Almeria province’s infants and primary state schools take Religious Instruction classes.

At the same time, 9 per cent of infants and primary pupils have opted for Islamic studies although they are affected by a shortage of teachers,  Abdallah Mhanna, president of the Almeria province’s Imams Centre, said.
