Front Line

Religious education which is taught in schools has a significant role in forming religious exclusivism and inclusivism, especially in Indonesia. It influences student’s views on others. It also depends on the way those religion educations taught. There is also a need to have more efforts to bring the idea of interfaith dialogue into educational system including in higher educational level. There are some educational institutions which already involved in inter-faith dialogue in their curriculum such as the CRCS (Center for Religious and Cross Cultural Studies) and the ICRS (Indonesian Consortium for Religious Studies) at Gadjah Mada University. However, the number of primary educational institutions which involves interfaith dialogue is still limited. This work suggests that, for today’s situation in Indonesian multicultural society, a need for reforming religion education curriculum in primary education is emerging. To make interfaith dialogue real in schools, the Ministry of Education in collaboration with Ministry of Religious Affairs is in a front line to arrange a new curriculum on religious education to be more pluralistic and affirm religious diversity in Indonesia including multi-religious education or inter religious education. Key words: religious, multicultural, education, interfaith.

Today, in Ukraine, the issue of religious education remains not less but rather even more debatable and relevant than in the period of 2005, when the order No. 437 "On the study of optional courses on ethics of religion and religious studies in schools" and further regulatory documents were issued, aimed at creating conditions for the all-Ukrainian introduction of subjects of spiritual and moral orientation in general educational institutions. According to the Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sport of Ukraine, in the 2011/2012 school year, about 40% of schools (approximately 15% of all schoolchildren) are covered by the teaching process of the relevant subjects. However, a few important issues remain, the solution of which is urgent in order to further improve the situation in educational and educational progress of state initiatives.

India is home to more than 800 million Hindus and has a massive higher education system that is overseen by the University Grants Commission (ugc). Despite this, there are hardly any departments of religion or Hinduism in India, but the ugc, even though it has a secular mission, funds universities with explicit religious affiliations. This article traces the reasons for these paradoxes and discusses the apparent lacuna of religious studies departments by looking at the genealogy of the study of religion in India. It initially looks at the contested terrain of nineteenth-century educational institutions. The work of British missionaries, Orientalists, and government officials form the imperial context to understand Charles Wood’s momentousDespatch(1854), which, on the one hand, argues for secular institutions but, on the other, tries to accommodate the work of the Orientalists and the missionaries. Wood recommends a system in which government subsidies, secular education, and universities with overt religious profiles become interlocked, but the formal study of religion is bypassed. Finally, I reconsider what the “dearth” of religious studies and the “absence” of Hinduism departments reveal about the construction of religion in India itself. The lack of conceptual correspondence between “religion” and “Hinduism” as taught in Western academic contexts does not preclude the formal study of religion in India. Instead, the study of religion is conducted within particularized frameworks germane to the Indic context, using a network of unique institutes. Reflection on these distinctively Indian epistemological frameworks push new ways of thinking about religious education and the construction of religion as an object of study in South Asia.

Religion and education ... The problem of their relationship has long been of interest to the pedagogical community and the Church. Recently, in connection with the actualization of the religious factor in the social and spiritual life, she also appeared in Ukraine. The question is not whether to give or not to give through the education system knowledge about religion. There is a question of what knowledge and how much it can be taught about when, where and who should give them. There is still a question and whether there should exist in parallel two systems of education - secular and spiritual, and whether spiritual education by its status should be equated with secular and certified by the same documents, which are valid in the sphere of secular life. But if that is the case then it is likely that spiritual education is then covered by the rule of studying in the educational institutions of the compulsory list-the minimum of educational disciplines, which are now taught in all secular educational institutions and which form a broad world view of their recipients. It would seem that the Ministry of Education and Science should also be subject to the control of spiritual education. The state should know not only what they are taught here, but also how and who they are teaching.

The problem of religious education is not new to Ukrainian religious studies. The latter was raised in connection with the decree of the Minister of Education and Science on the introduction of the subject "Theology" in higher educational establishments of Ukraine. However, as is often the case in Ukraine, the decree remained only on paper. At the same time, the topic of religious education was discussed in various circles in the circles of religious scholars. Now they are discussing this again. And these discussions are of a different nature, since the desire of the President without serious public discussion was started by the Ministry of Education and Science: since September 1 this academic year the course "Ethics of Faith" has already been introduced in some public schools in Ukraine. Discussions and controversies are already heard in parallel with the decision made and can actually change only the content of the subject, but not the decision on its teaching. That is, it is still debatable that children should be taught in public schools, but the fact that if a new subject does not appear on September 1, there will be almost no doubt after the new year.

In several policy documents reviewing the country’s education system, the Ministry of Education has made noteworthy pronouncements on how to improve teacher education in Botswana. This mainly concerns equipping teachers with pedagogical skills to better address the learning needs of the linguistically and culturally diverse student population. Even though at policy level it is acknowledged that Botswana is a multicultural society, at implementation stage there is no such evidence. This article argues that lack of implementation of policy pronouncements contradicts the government’s aspirations to provide equal learning opportunity to all learners. The infusion of courses in multicultural education at teacher education level is seen as an alternative.

The Times

Madrasah is Islamic educational institutions that are present in order to respond to the demands of the times. Since its establishment until now it has undergone a transformation, both in content and form. The development of positive characteristics, traditions and local wisdom (local power) continues through amputation, minimization and assimilation. This is inseparable from the principle that continues to be grasped, which is maintaining good old wisdom and taking or even creating new innovations that are relevant for progress. There is a polarization of education in Indonesia, between pesantren and public schools. Pesantren is the oldest Islamic education in Indonesia which until the 60s only focused on organizing religious education, in this case, mastery of the yellow book. Islamic boarding school is a model of traditional education that is firmly rooted in community traditions. At that time, pesantren were often considered unable to respond to the progress and demands of the times. On the other hand, there is general education (read: school) which focuses on non-religious subjects, religious studies are only around 2 hours a week. This fact gives the impression that public education (school) is a secular Dutch Indies heritage. In fact, many of the Muslim children who take general education. This has resulted in schools seen as unable to provide a balanced portion of faith and piety as well as science and technology.
