Religious Education is mostly a family matter in France. In a vast majority of schools (nearly all in fact), even private ones, the teachers are state-paid. The schools have then an obligation to follow nationwide guidelines on the curriculum.

Religious education cannot be compulsory, even for schools run by religious bodies. A Catholic headmaster cannot refuse a pupil in his school, on the motive that he is not Catholic. Catholic pupils can be taught religious education, on demand. This is no more popular as it is an additional class instead of time off. This is not popular too, with parents thinking their children have already enough to learn.

However, there are some classes at age 13/14 explaining the cultural differences between religions.

What is French for RE?

RE could stand for Religious Education. That would be, éducation religieuse, in French. This class doesn't exist in public schools and is not mandatory in private, religious ones.


Do french children learn RE?

French children do not learn Religious Education (RE) in the same way as in some other countries. The French education system promotes secularism and does not include formal religious education in public schools. However, private schools, including Catholic schools, may offer religious instruction.

Why don't French schools have RE lessons?

Religious Education is not taught in French schools since the beginning of the 20th century, when state and church were officially separated. Since then, religious education is a private and familial matter but was taken out of the school curriculum. The rationale is that no religion should be favoured by the state, and that the French nation should be secular. Private schools may teach religious education, but no school can make it compulsory, or select its students in a particular faith (a Muslim may apply to a Catholic school and vice-versa) Some cultural knowledge about the customs of all faiths is taught in high school, but this is done to foster some understanding between communities.
