Combalía, Zoila (Universidad de Zaragoza)

Resumen: In recent decades, Spain has witnessed a social and political debate regarding the justification and/or appropriateness of religious education in state schools. In this paper, after providing a brief description of the current situation, I will refer to the doubts and questions that have been raised about this area of teaching, as well as its legal basis and the social function it can perform. Finally, I will address some of the aspects or difficulties involved in its provision.
