| Title | Teaching of or about religion? Presence of religion in public school |
| Summary | There are three different models of religious education in public schools in Europe: the teaching of religion, teaching about religion and lack of religious education per se. This paper evaluates these models by the comparative analysis of three legal systems: Norwegian, Polish and French. The general objective is to find how states ensure the protection of human rights, such as parental educational rights, freedom of religion, non-discrimination and children’s rights, in different models and which solution surpasses others. Evaluation of the alternative solutions led to the conclusion that all systems have flaws, most of them in the implementation of the model in a non-discriminatory way. Overall, the recommended model of religious education is teaching about religion or religious facts in an objective way, although it must allow opt-outs. |
