The cultural importance of religion and its ambiguous potential effects on the stability of liberal democracy and the rule of law recommend including information about religions in public school curricula. In certain contexts, there are even good secular reasons to have this done by teachers approved by the religious communities for their respective groups of pupils, as is being practiced in various European states (with a possibility of opting out, with ethics as a substitute subject in some schools). Is this practice compatible with the religious neutrality of states? An illustrative analysis shows how suitable criteria for the admission of religious groups to offering religious education can block the objection of undue preference. Like any solution in this field, it is not immune to theoretical and practical problems.

To situate the Aboriginal Studies program I am designing, I would need to say that in a Year 11 course in Religious Education at a Catholic Girls’ Independent (non-systemic) High School in Brisbane, the Semester 2 area is Morality and Justice and involves a consideration of personal decision making, understanding stages of moral development, individual/personal moral issues and social, moral and justice issues. (I should add that the school is almost totally non-Aboriginal although it is multi-ethnic to the extent that it runs ESL classes at each year level).

The article argues that the growth of religious service provision directed at the Muslim diaspora in Europe has led to greater professionalization and pluralism within the Islam state in Muslim countries. Contemporary Muslim governments have claimed a monopoly over public prayer and religious education and have heavily invested in a network of infrastructure and services – the Islam state. The recent breakthrough of Islamist parties into governments in Turkey and across North Africa poses a challenge to the continued ‘civilian control’ over religion. What will become of the enormous Islamic Affairs ministries that Islamist parties have inherited – the hundreds of thousands of public servants of state Islam across the region, the tens of thousands of mosques and thousands of religious schools? Liberals demand the abolition of the Islam state because it violates the separation of religion and state; Islamists detest it for its repressive qualities. Despite progressive liberalization, governments in the past decade have not sought disestablishment, and have instead increased the resources and policing of state-run religion. I draw on the experience of Muslim governments in the competitive field of state–Islam relations in European countries to explain the modest beginnings of reform of the official religion apparatus in Muslim-majority countries.

Method applied in this study is systematic non-experimental observation and correlation analysis, by which were evaluated and interpreted data collected by questionnaire constructed for the occasion - students expressed their opinion on what contributed the most to their moral formation in terms of age in the faith. Among the important results are: The personality of religious teacher is of great importance and its contribution depends on his knowledge of the content transmitted to the students, and on interesting ways of teaching, by visiting Temples of the Holy Spirit and participation in church worship, while information and communication technologies are less significant. Practical pedagogical implications of these results are devoting special attention to personnel potential of religious teachers.

The educational changes launched in Poland in 1932 included the establishment of new types of schools, such as seven-year common schools and four-year middle schools. Therefore, there was a need for school curricula that would correspond to the new educational system. The National Board of Education first prepared the preliminary drafts and subsequently passed the school curricula. The Catechetic and Pedagogical Monthly analyzed them over the span of the 1930s. Not only the analyses and their results were published in the magazine, but also the contents of the curricula. That is why in pre-war Poland this Catholic periodical became one of the most important information sources on school curricula of religious education. Moreover, it was a source from which successive syllabuses were derived.
