Examines the educational reform undertaken by the Tunisian government since 1991; focuses on restructuring of religious education, civics, and revision of history textbooks.

Abstract: This paper examines the mediating role that education plays between religion and democratic community. The paper is situated in the Canadian context and examines this mediation through two questions: First, what is the relationship between religion and education and what is the contribution of this relationship to and within a pluralist society? And, second, do schools have a responsibility in developing a unified model of who the citizen is as a person? Both questions are founded upon the premise that citizens are more than citizens, they are also persons.

Law on the 'recast' on schools, known as the 'Act III' of decentralisation: the parliamentary news is undoubtedly marked by the growing involvement of local and regional authorities in educational issues. The active presence of many local elected representatives had already been noted in the consultation to overhaul the school last summer. Nevertheless, the issue of "local" in education policy has been largely dominated in recent weeks by the debate on school patterns. We will not deal here with this last issue, which has been discussed in a recent dossier devoted to the plurality of educational time (Gaussel, 2013). Instead, we would like to put in perspective the topical nature of the reforms in the light of the more general theme of decentralisation in education, drawing on the conclusions of some research carried out directly or indirectly on this the.After first recalling the various concepts used to address the subject, we will produce a brief history of the various waves of educational decentralisation in France in a second chapter. In the third, we will try to examine in more detail the meaning of what is increasingly referred to as local education policies, by cross-referencing studies conducted over the past ten years and covering different territorial and political levels. Finally, in a fourth part, an international overview will allow us to approach the different ways in which educational decentralisation has been addressed around the world, focusing on specific contexts in Sweden, England, the United States and Latin America. ; International audience ; Law on the 'recast' on schools, known as the 'Act III' of decentralisation: the parliamentary news is undoubtedly marked by the growing involvement of local and regional authorities in educational issues.
