The High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB) has annulled part of the decree regulating the curriculum for Primary Education and orders the Government to modify the regulation of the subject of Religion. Specifically, the sentence renders Article 8 of the norm ineffective.

The obsession with death that exists from certain interpretations of religious creeds and now from the so-called ultra-agenda – more or less stale conservatism – is indeed worrying and revealing. According to Christian religion, we would be told that our life does not belong to us, and therefore it is not right to want to die or end it when we sensibly wish. Life is a kind of divine gift, of which we are only custodians, like a wonderful book that is not ours and which we must return more or less intact to the Librarian Above. This may be so, or it could be, but the truth is that we have no certainty that things respond to these parameters. In the end, God does not manifest himself, but priests do. 

The subject of Religion in the Balearic Islands This reinforces a downward trend among public school students.While enrollment in state-subsidized private schools has increased, the total number of students enrolled in state-subsidized private schools has fallen from 63,148 in the 2022-2023 academic year to 59,561 in 2025-2026, a reduction of approximately 3,600 students (-5.68%). This decline is particularly significant in the state school system, which has dropped from 24,518 students to 19,552 in recent years, a decrease of 4,966 students, or 20%. This decline has notably affected the presence of Religion as a subject in state schools, where there are fewer and fewer interested students. Conversely, state-subsidized private schools are experiencing the opposite trend: enrollment has increased from 38,630 to 40,009 students, a rise of 1,379 students, or 3.5%.

After the surprising double victory of the correct ones The 47 and The infiltratorThe 40th edition of the Goya Awards will take place without any mystery. Sundays It will prevail over the rest because it is the best film among the nominees. Director Alauda Ruiz de Azúa uses teenager Ainara's announcement of becoming a cloistered nun to dissect the underlying family dynamics that trigger her decision. The father is a widower more concerned with upholding the conventions of marriage than with meeting his daughters' emotional needs. He faces opposition from his sister, convinced that her niece is wasting her life.

The decision by the Ministry of Education to promote a teacher training course entitled The role of religion in sexual and affective education: new perspectives This has ignited a debate about the possible introduction of religious moral ideology into education, especially in public schools. Despite being an official course, the initiative is generating concern among teachers' unions and associations, who denounce the risk of conditioning students' perspectives on relationships and sexuality based on a specific confessional and moral viewpoint. They consider this incompatible with the principles of neutrality and pluralism that govern the education system and are extensively established by current legislation—the LOM (Organic Law on Sexual and Reproductive Health) refers to "affectivity and sexuality" eight times. The Regional Ministry of Education, through the Ibiza Teacher Training Center (CEP), has scheduled the course from March 3 to 31, 2026. It is aimed at secondary and high school religion teachers, primary school teachers, and secondary and high school teachers in general. Coordination is being handled by Pedro Miguel Ramírez Sánchez, permanent deacon of Ibiza and advisor on Catholic Religion at the CEP. A figure who combines weighty religious and institutional responsibilities.

The Salafist preacher accused of recruiting and indoctrinating young people for jihad around a mosque in Inca, Tarik C., told the court that the police manipulated evidence against him and planted a fake video promoting terrorism on his computer while he was in prison. The cleric, whom Moroccan authorities banned from preaching in 2013 due to his radicalism, has been on trial since Monday at the National Court along with an alleged collaborator, Hussein FL, and four of his followers, who were supposedly recruited in Mallorca. The prosecution is seeking eight years in prison for Tarik C. and his alleged assistant for recruitment and terrorist indoctrination, and five years for the other defendants for self-indoctrination. The defense, for its part, requested acquittal.

In the 2025-2026 academic year, twelve schools across the Balearic Islands will teach Islamic Religion, with a total of five teachers and 727 students enrolled. It should be noted that this subject is not offered automatically, but requires a minimum demand: public schools require at least ten families to apply, while private schools may be denied if it contradicts their specific ideology. The teaching of Islamic Religion in classrooms in the Balearic Islands is regulated by an agreement with the Islamic Commission of Spain, which expired in 2023. Since then, the Ministry of Education has been working with the parties involved to reach a new agreement.

The Minister of Education and Universities, Antoni Vera, assured that his department will abide by the ruling of the High Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands (TSJIB), which recognizes the right of a doll to receive Islamic instruction in a school in Palma. He announced that the text is being studied and that the resolution's relevance is being sought. Vera expressed his respect for the high court's ruling while also announcing that the agreement with the Islamic Commission on this matter is under review. The ruling opens the door for Islamic instruction, which is already offered in some schools in the Balearic Islands, to also be extended to Palma.

The Calvià City Council sent a Vox motion against Islamic teaching to the municipality's schools. The text was approved in the plenary session with votes from the People's Party (PP). According to ARA Baleares, through various sources, this was not an ordinary email. On July 1, the minutes of the plenary session in which the City Council approved the text were sent through the municipal electronic office. Schools that wanted to read them had to identify themselves and generate a reading notice. But many did not open them. Others read them and deleted them automatically. In any case, no city council has jurisdiction over what is taught in the area's schools. Municipal functions focus on ensuring their maintenance and paying for their utilities.

Fasting, sacrificing, walking with a cross on one's back, or wearing a crown of thorns. These are some of the paths that various mystical figures have used to reach what is known as the state of ecstasy, the connection with divinity. Religious figures such as Elisabet Cifre de Colonya, Joana Oliver Andreu, and Sister Anna Maria del Santísimo Sacramento, among many others, are some of the figures that writer Rosa Planas (Palma, 1957) includes in her book Majorcan mystics (Leonard Muntaner), a volume that aims to bring these women and their significance closer to the present day, give visibility to forgotten figures, and reveal a previously unknown dimension of Mallorcan religious culture. "There's a whole element of symbolism that seems abandoned today and that needs to be recovered," Planas claims.
