OBESSU Motion from Aktion Kritischer SchulerInnen (AKS) on Religion and Schools

At OBESSU, we believe that schools must be places of free, critical, and bias-free learning for every student, regardless of their faith or background. Religious institutions should not hold influence over public education, and religious education in schools should not be centred on any single majority faith, but instead foster genuine understanding of the diversity of beliefs in our societies. OBESSU calls on governments and the Council of Europe to protect the secular character of public schools and to ensure that intercultural learning is embedded in education systems across Europe.
