Religious
education in state schools in Europe has to be consistent with the human rights
principles expressed in the European Convention on Human Rights, and in the
case-law of the European Court of Human Rights. Moreover, in the last two
decades, supranational organisations have published recommendations and
guidelines pertaining to religious education in state schools. In this
qualitative research, how policy actors in England and Turkey interpret and
perceive supranational religious education policy and its growing influence is
analysed. In-depth interviews were
conducted with various policy actors (n40) ranging from academics to
representatives of religious and secular organisations and from teachers to
state officials. The findings suggest that the policy actors interpret and
understand the supranational religious
education
policy and its influence differently and contradictorily. What is more, it
seems that supranational religious education policy is appropriated and used
selectively by policy actors to promote their desired religious education
model. Implications arise from these findings are discussed at the end of the
article.
