| Abstract: | While European education systems fundamentally rest on a rather monolithic world-view, some of them are explicitly oriented
towards Christianity and others are comparatively secular. Apart from this, they differ in the way that they offer opportunities
for Muslim minorities to enjoy a modern and competitive as well as religious-moral education. Principally, there are three
approaches. The first allows private Muslim schools which are neither subsidized nor controlled or regulated by the state.
Other countries require Muslim schools to apply for approval, and such schools are then subsidized and regulated; but they
do not have to teach a national curriculum. In a third group of countries, only schools that teach the national curriculum
are permitted, and they are subsidized and controlled by the state. In the latter case, because Islamic matters are not taught
in these schools, many Muslim parents send their children to non-formal Qur’anic schools in the evening or during weekends.
This study examines some typical arrangements in a number of countries. |
