Robert Jackson, Professor of Religions and Education, University of Warwick has written the Foreword to this book "Law, Religious Freedom and Education in Europe" that was released today.

Religion has returned forcefully both as a subject of academic debate, as a lived reality in contemporary societies and as a renewed challenge for secular systems of governance. The context of education is a field where the accommodation of religious diversity is particularly debated. In a comparative and multidisciplinary perspective, this book offers contributions by prominent law and religion experts on key concepts such as laïcité, discrimination and religious freedom; on national models of State/Church relationships in an educational context and on topical and controversial cases raised in various European jurisdictions.
