Religious education in educational system of Germany (based on example of Bavaria)

Abstract

Condition of the catechizm and presence of religion in school is related to the State-Church with character of rate. So, it is possible to ask about Germany, a Secular State, can gwarantee a religious freedom, understood for canvass of religious knowledge each citizen as right? Countries of Union Federal Republic of Germany own wide autonomy in internal range and in area of public international law. Undertaking the trial above the religious education, forms of its compulsory nature, legal guarantees, the scope of educating or the position of the teacher of the religion, I have to focus on only one Country — Bavaria. At least that State isn’t a religious State and It is involving no religion, church and national regulations, clearly are pointing at the fact that the religious instruction is in maintained schools in the common business of both you and the Church. Asking about the scope of the religious education and applying school curricula of the religion in maintained schools we are finding confiration that the supervision here is performing both the Church, caring about the teaching-substantive correctness of the religious education as well as national, being on the alert authorities above constitution of programs and texts. Germany is functioning in the system of two religions, so They must create conditions for choosing by the young man in the process of education. Hence also unique character of the religious instruction, its scope, the form and the compulsory nature.
