Državna matura, koja se prvi puta polaže školske godine 2009./2010., novost je u odgojno-obrazovnom sustavu Republike Hrvatske. Kao oblikom vanjskog vrednovanja ishoda srednjeg obrazovanja njome se želi: promicati standardiziranje obrazovnih ishoda i mjernih instrumenata, zatim na temelju mjerljivih rezultata učenja ukazati na neke jake i slabe strane našeg odgojno-obrazovnog sustava, potaknuti nove, učinkovitije oblike školskog poučavanja i učenja, pridonijeti izgradnji kvalitetnog sustava praćenja i – unutarnjeg i vanjskog – vrednovanja ostvarenosti ciljeva obrazovanja u našim školama te inicirati bolje povezivanje osnovnog, srednjeg i visokog obrazovanja. (Katolički) vjeronauk jedan je od predmeta koji ulaze u izborni dio državne mature, a koji se, uz obvezni dio, uglavnom traži kao uvjet za upis na pojedine studijske programe. U članku se iz prve ruke donose do sada manje poznate pojedinosti o radu Stručne radne skupine za vjeronauk na državnoj maturi, o kojima se, zbog naravi posla i tajnosti podataka do sada nije pisalo te se ističu pozitivni poticaji, kao i moguća ograničenja za vjeronauk kao nastavni predmet u javnoj školi radi njegova pedagoški korektnog, ravnopravnog sudjelovanja na državnoj maturi. Daje se i prvi osvrt na rezultate probnih ispitivanja iz vjeronauka., National examinations, which are being held for the first time in the school year of 2009/2010, are a novelty in the pedagogical-educational system of the Republic of Croatia. As a form of external evaluation of secondary school results, it was designed to promote the standardization of educational results and measuring instruments; and based on the measurable results of study, to identify some of the strengths and weaknesses of our educational system. In addition, national examinations were seen as a way of stimulating new and more efficient forms of school teaching practice and study, to contribute to the building of a quality monitoring system and – the internal and external – evaluation of the accomplished goals of education in our schools, as well as to initiate a better connection between primary, secondary and higher education. (Catholic) religious education is one of the school subjects which enters the elective part of national examinations and which, together with the obligatory part, is usually required for entering into certain university courses. The article provides first-hand information and gives detail on the work of the expertise working team for religious education at the national examinations which was less known until now, and which due to the nature of secrecy of information, was never written about. Positive incentives are also stressed as well as potential limitations for religious education as a school subject in public schools, following its pedagogically fair and equal participation at the national examinations. The first review of the test examination for religious education is also given.
