Religious education in schools in Europe must comply with the human rights principles expressed in relevant international human rights conventions and with the case-law produced by supranational courts such as the European Court of Human Rights. Moreover, in recent decades, European organisations such as the Council of Europe and the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe have published recommendations, guidelines and reference books concerning religious education in schools. Even though it is early to claim that there is a coherent and homogenous European religious education policy, there is at least a tendency towards unifying it. Therefore, this article discusses the European religious education policy, particularly its principles, namely religious education's place in schools, its model and aims, the right of withdrawal from religious education, and consultation with relevant stakeholders. It is a qualitative research study, which adopts document analysis. The implications of the European religious education policy for national religious education policies are also discussed.

Avrupa Din Eğitimi Politikası

Avrupa’daki devlet okullarındaki din eğitimi, ilgili uluslararası insan hakları sözleşmelerinde ifade edilen ve ilgili davalara bakan Avrupa İnsan Hakları Mahkemesi gibi uluslararası mahkemelerin içtihatlarına uygun olmalıdır. Ayrıca, özellikle son yıllarda Avrupa Konseyi ve Avrupa Güvenlik ve İş Birliği Teşkilatı gibi uluslararası kuruluşlar okullarda din eğitimi ile ilgili tavsiyeler, yönergeler ve referans kitaplar yayınlamıştır. Tutarlı ve homojen bir Avrupa din eğitimi politikası ortaya çıktığını iddia etmek için erken olmakla beraber, bu yayınlarla en azından bu yönde bir eğilimin olduğu söylenebilir. Bu açıdan makale Avrupa din eğitimi politikasını özellikle de ilkelerini incelemektedir. Bu ilkeler din eğitiminin okullardaki yeri, modeli ve amaçları, din eğitiminden muafiyet hakkı ve ilgili paydaşlarla istişaredir. Nitel bir çalışma olan bu araştırma doküman analizine dayanmaktadır. Makalede, Avrupa din eğitimi politikasının ulusal din eğitimi politikaları üzerindeki muhtemel etkisi tartışılmaktadır.
