ORGANIZACIJA RELIGIJSKE NASTAVE U JAVNIM ŠKOLAMA BIH I ZEMALJA REGIONA
ORGANIZATION OF RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA AND OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE REGION

Summary/Abstract: By examining the way of introducing religious education in public schools in Bosnia and Herzegovina, its realization and effects, this paper opens numerous questions concerning the content, goals and tasks of religious education, discrimination of pupils who do not attend it, and also a need for introducing an alternative subject which would offer roughly the same topics and results that are to be achieved by religious education. Twenty years after the introduction of religious education in curriculums of public schools in BiH, a picture of the society in its entirety, unfortunately, does not support a well-established idea that humanism, morality and spirituality are a gain from religious education; this requires a more comprehensive analysis and a quest for answers to the questions posed. We sought to find them in interviews, laws, and analyses of goals and tasks of schools subjects that concern themselves with religious education in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
