Abstract

Religious education which is among mandatory subjects in primary and secondary schools in England has also the right of withdrawal. Parents can withdraw their children from religious education wholly or partially without giving a reason. However, this right has recently become a matter of debate. As the right of withdrawal is a contentious issue in Turkey, the article explores the debates in England to see how these debates are taken place in other countries. Reports and news about these debates and recent reports on religious education were analysed. It is found that although some demand the removal immediately, the majority expects some reforms in religious education before the removal. However, there is no consensus on how and to what end religious education should be reformed. Moreover, Religious Education Commission report which is the most extensive report on religious education in recent years opted for the preservation of the right of withdrawal. The article considers the context within which these debates occur in England and whether it is possible to abolish the right of withdrawal from practical, political and human rights' point of view.

Özet

İngiltere'de ilk ve ortaöğretim okullarında okutulan zorunlu derslerden biri olan din eğitimi, muafiyet hakkı da olan bir derstir. İsteyen aileler herhangi bir sebep sunmaksızın çocuklarını din eğitimi dersinin tamamından ya da bir kısmından muaf tutabilmektedirler. Ancak bu muafiyet hakkı son dönemlerde tartışılır hale gelmiştir. Ülkemizde de tartışmalı konulardan olan muafiyet hakkının, farklı ülkelerde hangi açılardan tartışıldığını görebilmek için bu makalede İngiltere'deki ilgili tartışmalar ele alınıp değerlendirilecektir. Bu amaçla İngiltere’de son dönemde muafiyet hak-kının kaldırılmasını talep edenlerin beyanları, bu konudaki haberler ve din eğitimi hakkında yazılan raporlar incelenmiştir. Yapılan araştırma göstermektedir ki kimi gruplar muafiyet hakkının hemen kaldırılmasını isterken, bir kısmı ise bazı reformların ardından muafiyet hakkının kaldırılmasını istemektedirler. Ancak istenen reformların nasıl ve hangi doğrultuda olacağı konusunda herhangi bir mutabakat bulunmamaktadır. Bunun yanında, İngiltere din eğitimi hakkında son yıllarda ya-zılan en kapsamlı rapor olan Din Eğitimi Komisyonu raporu muafiyet hakkının korunmasını talep etmiştir. Makale İngiltere'deki muafiyet hakkı tartışmalarının bağlamını ve muafiyet hakkını kaldırmanın pratik, politik ve insan hakları bağlamında mümkün olup olmadığını inceleyerek son bulmaktadır.
