Secular education advocates have had a win in their fight against the Bible in Schools programme.
There's been controversy that the syllabuses used by the Churches Education Commission, which runs classes in around 600 state schools teach religion, not about it.
Secular Education Network spokesman, David Hines, says they've now got a progress report from the Education Ministry.
"After about seven months of working with the Ministry of Education, they’ve finally given us the report we can take to the public. It's got some good steps they're planning to take. The first one is to consult us and school principals next week, about some draft guidelines to reduce the pain caused by bible in schools."
Mr Hines says law change is still a priority, with the group looking at making a complaint to the Human Rights Review Tribunal next month.
