“…Other authors emphasize that doing justice to diversity in society means that the history and views of different social groups should be incorporated into the curriculum (e.g. Banks et al 2001, Kumashiro 2000, Lawrence 1997). Finally, the task of education in preventing racism or oppression of social groups in general is stressed (Carrington and Short 1997, Kumashiro 2000, Santas 2000.…”

“…4. Diversity (Banks, Cookson, Gay, & Hawley, 2001;Gardner, 1993;Johnson & Johnson, n.d.): Part of the focus on students as the key to learning involves understanding that students differ from one another and coming to appreciate that differences can facilitate rather than hinder learning.…”

“…These events organised show that teachers take into account all pupils' cultural characteristics. However, one of the teachers strikes the right note by stating that an intercultural dimension needs to be present in all aspects of the school (Banks et al, 2001); that is, in all levels of school life the message that all cultures and languages are equal should be transmitted (Hopkins and Harris, 1997;Savvidou, 2005 A research study conducted by among Greek student primary school teachers and Greek in-service primary school teachers showed that the student teachers believe that RE will need to change its content and purposes towards a more inter-religious perspective whereas the in-service teachers support the view that such a change is quite bold without specifying the reasons.

The aim of this presentation is to provide an overview of the subject of Religious Education (RE) taught in Greek primary and secondary schools through the lens of the diversity existing in the Greek society. The presentation refers to the Christian Orthodox oriented content -and the roots of this orientation -of the school textbooks and the curriculum on the subject of Religious Education related and compared with the Greek legislation and the European guidelines on Religious Education in detail. The issue was explored through the phenomenological approach which illuminates the subject of RE taught in Greek schools via the method of document analysis. The document analysis showed that the Greek legislation and the curricula of RE seem to be by and large consistent with the European guidelines on the freedom of religious conscience, as this is preserved in some way. However, neither the development of inter-religious dialogue nor the encouragement of pupils to discover different religions is foreseen within school with the exemption of some lessons relevant to other religions and faiths less in primary school and high school and more in Lyceum, the attendance of which is optional. In the end, the findings are discussed and some thoughts are expressed regarding the dimension that the subject of Religious Education should take in future in view of the present composition of the population in Greece.
