Sažetak
This year, the Church in Croatia will celebrate the twenty-fifty anniversary of the reintroduction of religious education in the school system after it had been forcibly abolished by the communist authorities in 1951/1952. In the wake of the democratic changes in Croatia, religious education was reintroduced into the educational system during the 1991/1992 academic year. On the occasion of the twentieth anniversary, the first comprehensive empirical study was conducted with the aim of valorizing the status of religious education in the school, and its acceptance by students and religious education teachers. This was an opportunity for a type of audit and evaluation of religious education as a school subject. since religious education is one of the dynamic and new disciplines in the Croatian school system, it is under the watchful eye of the public and subject to criticism. The study confirmed that religious education in our educational system is developing in the right direction. It has been well received by students and parents and has largely met student expectations.
