The European Convention on Human Rights guarantees freedom of
education, including the opportunities to create and operate
faith-based schools. However, as European societies become more
religiously diverse and 'less religious' at the same time, the role
of faith-based schools is increasingly being contested. Serious
tensions have emerged between those who ardently support religious
schools in their various forms, and those who oppose them. Given
that faith-based schools enjoy basic constitutional guarantees in
Europe, the controversy around them often surrounds issues of
public financing, degrees of organisational and pedagogical
autonomy, and educational practices and management. This volume is
about the controversies surrounding religious schools in a number
of Western European countries. The introductory chapter briefly
analyses the structural pressures that affect the position of
religious schools, outlining the relevant institutional
arrangements in countries such as Denmark, Germany, France,
Ireland, the Netherlands, and Scotland. The following chapters
provide a detailed analysis of the discussions and controversies
surrounding faith-based schools in each country. Finally, the two
concluding chapters aim to provide a bigger, comparative picture
with regard to these debates about religious education in liberal
democratic states and culturally pluralist societies. This book was
originally published as a special issue of Comparative Education.
