Religious Freedom and School Education in Colombia

Abstract

In Colombia, the intersection of religion and education has sparked debates regarding potential conflicts between religious freedom and the right to education. These debates stem from divergent interpretations of the secular state principle and the autonomy of private educational institutions. This article delves into the examination of the current regulatory framework governing religious freedom in Colombian school education. Through this exploration, tensions, challenges, and opportunities inherent in the pursuit of a balance between faith and education in a diverse and pluralistic society are analyzed.
