Nauczanie religii w szkole w opiniach i ocenach polskiego społeczeństwa
The Opinion of the Polish Society on Religious Education at School

Summary/Abstract: The reintroduction of Religious Education to state schools in 1990 was accepted by the majority of the Polish society. However, it also met the objection and indignation of some of the political powers. The opponents of the idea thought that catechization at school breached a secular character of state schools. Despite the recurring criticism of RE teaching (of various frequency and intensity), the majority of the Polish society, including school goers and their parents, support catechization at school. The vast majority of children and youngsters participate in RE classes and the opinions on the quality of teaching are stable. School goers declare that they participate in the classes because they are interesting or because they treat RE like any other subject. Some of the school goers, however, think that the classes are boring.
