The subject of this article is an attempt to analyse the mandatory forms of teaching religion in public schools, guaranteed by the concordat agreements with the Federal Republic of Germany, Austria and Portugal. Analysed concordats set particular standards for the presence of religion in the context of school education and determine the powers of church and state authorities, including the way of teaching, teachers’ qualifications and the position of religion teacher and pedagogical supervision over them.
The subject of this article is an attempt to analyse the religion teaching in the mandatory form guaranteed by concordats from the Third Reich (1933), Bavaria (1924) − amended in 1968 and 1974, Lower Saxony (1965), Sarah (1985), Austria (1962 ) and Portugal (1940). Concordat guarantees protecting the right of the Catholic Church to teach religion in public schools in these countries are expressed primarily in the field of religion education, its time dimension, in preparing their own educational programs, providing religion teachers a rightful position like those teachers of other subjects, and finally in the supervision on the teaching of religion in schools.
