  2. KEYS TO SPANISH DEBATE • Spanish Constitution: Art. 27th (1,2,3) • Rights of families and obligation of the State • Influence of Catholic Church in educational system • Information about different moral values or indoctrination of civic values? • Sentence of Supreme Court (February 2009).See next slide

  3. MAIN POINTS about EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP • Pluralism is a superior value of Spanish Constitution and it must be respected in all legal regulations • Ideological neutrality is the duty of the State • Any kind of proselytism in educational system is forbidden • In a democracy a teacher is not a judge of moral questions
