Sažetak
This article examines religious education within the context of its status as a curricular subject in the educational system of the Republic of Croatia. The introductory section outlines the institutional, legal, and strategic framework that shapes the discourse on religious education, including relevant authorities, legislation, and policy documents. The core of the article presents empirical data on the current implementation of religious education in its various confessional forms within the school system. In the concluding section, based on the existing circumstances and the priorities outlined in strategic documents, several key challenges are identified. Among these, the issue of ensuring high-quality instruction emerges as a central challenge for religious education across all confessional variations, particularly in light of the current conditions governing its integration into the educational system.
