We can get a hint, perhaps, by looking at schools in Dubai, the second largest emirate of the United Arab Emirates.
Evolution, currently included in Dubai's curriculum for Grade 12 pupils in public schools, will be removed for the next academic year, says Abdul Qader Eisa, the senior supervisor of Biology in the Curriculum Development Centre of the Ministry of Education.
"We belong to an Islamic country, and we believe that scientific evidence proves the existence of God and that he is the creator of everything," he says.
