RELIGION AND PLURALISM IN EDUCATION - Zorica Kuburić - Christian Moe

Religion and pluralism in education focus on fostering inclusivity, understanding, and tolerance by teaching about diverse religious beliefs rather than promoting one faith. This approach aims to equip students with critical thinking skills, reduce prejudice, and encourage mutual respect in increasingly diverse societies. Key approaches include:
Interreligious competence: Developing skills to understand and interact constructively with people from different religious backgrounds.
Religious literacy: Gaining knowledge of key beliefs, practices, and traditions across multiple faiths.
Educational pluralism: A system where governments fund and regulate diverse types of schools, allowing for, but not limited to, religious education
