Summary/Abstract: Under the provisions of the state and church documents the analysis of the conditions and ways of employment of religion teachers in the public education system was done in this article. Religion teacher can be employed by headmaster of school who has to respect the principles of the Charter of Teacher. It can be done only on the basis of a personal canonical mission received from the diocesan bishop. Religion teacher can get this canonical mission only if qualified to teach religion in the public education system defined by the agreement between state and church in 2000. Employment of a teacher is established on the basis of appointment or contract of employment. In the case of replacement of an absent teacher employment is established for a limited period. Religious education in kindergartens and schools of all types take place twice a week (with children aged 3-4 years – about 15 minutes, with children aged 5-6 years - about 30 minutes) or two hours (school units) per week.
