Situation of Religious Teachers in the 1970s under Socialism

Summary/Abstract: The issue of the ideological affiliation of teachers in socialist schools was brought up soon after World War Two, but never fully resolved. The article talks about the heated debate at the time of ideological escalations in theigyos, when the League of Communists dealt a blow to the concept of ideologically neutral school, but still had to recognise as a compromise the reality of the late-Socialist period and could not afford an open division between religious and non-religious. The result of the debate, involving highly educated individuals, satisfied neither the advocates of the religious nor those on the side of the Marxist establishment. Later, the newly emerging democratic opposition also drew attention to the concealed establishment ofa communist monopoly in staff rooms. Nevertheless, the findings of the younger generation of sociologists of religion in particular contributed to the recognition that the pedagogical skills of teachers was more important than their religious affiliation.
