Religion and Education in New Millennium Macedonia
Abstract
Religious education is one of hotly debated discussion topics of our time in many ways. In the context of the Republic of Macedonia the main issue related to religious education appears to be the incorporation of this subject into the public school system. Several futile attempts for introducing religious classes in the schools have been made during the last decades. The Constitutional Court has even abrogated the course twice from the curricula on the grounds of protecting state’s secularism. However, it didn’t bring an end to the discussion on the place of religious education in the curricula. Based on the assumption that religious education is one of the main tools of effective socialization, this paper deals with the issue through three interrelated aspects, i. e. comparative, institutional and local. Firstly, an analysis on different experiences in Europe, particularly in the Balkans, in religious education will be provided. After introducing the situation in various European states the paper will focus on the peculiarities of religious education in Macedonia. In the last chapter of the paper the results of the survey, conducted with 400 respondents from Tetovo and Gostivar, will be presented. By doing so, it is aimed to show the attitude of students, teachers and parents on the matter from a local perspective.
