Sažetak
This paper analyses the education system in Croatia with particular emphasis on the position of religion within the education system from a multiple modernities view. In that, the paper analyses the education system in Croatia and primarily its primary and secondary education and the policy that regulates the content and values pupils should learn as well as the position of religion in regard to religious catechism and the position of religion in history textbooks. The issue this paper is addressing is therefore the notion of modernity in Croatia. Modernity is here analyzed through the multiple modernities framework. The questions this paper is analyzing are: what is the policy of Croatian authorities in the education system and what reception this policy receive in the society. The general attempt is to see how the concept of modernity is understood by the state actors (through the educational legislative) and how this concept is understood by the civil society actors (through their views) and finally, how these apparently opposed views fit into existing theory on religion inside a multiple modernities theory.
