Abstract

Europe is going through a sort of "social revolution" with the influence of the church and religious instruction in state schools being open to discussion. Critics claim that providing religious instruction in state schools violates the constitutional separation of church and state. And yet, despite an alleged separation of church and state, in most countries, the church continues to play a considerable public role, especially in education. This publication is a compilation of studies on religious instruction in state schools. It describes the diversity between states and analyzes the legislative basis of religious instruction in various countries. Whereas in some countries, religious instruction in state schools is optional or compulsory with the possibility to opt out, in other countries religious instruction is banned from state schools. The comparative analyses in this book will be of great value to researchers in educational research and to educational policymakers. The chapters are written in the English, French, German, Italian and Spanish language.

Abstract

This book explores the contentious issue of collective worship in schools, focusing on the experiences of children and the broader social and cultural implications. It examines the negotiation of religious and non-religious identities within educational settings and the impact of these practices on children's rights and ethical development. The work is grounded in sociology and anthropology, drawing on case studies, such as a legal case involving a Church of England school, to highlight debates around secular versus religious education. The author, Rachael Shillitoe, aims to provide a nuanced understanding of how children engage with and are affected by religious practices in schools. The book is intended for scholars and students in childhood studies, sociology, education, and related fields, offering insights into the complexities of religious education in contemporary society.
