    Freedom of religion is a fundamental right for all Ecuadorians and for this the school plays a fundamental role in guaranteeing the freedom to choose or practice a creed. Education in Ecuador's public schools is governed by the secularism of the State to guarantee equality and respect for religious diversity in the educational context. However, there is evidence of religious activities in these institutions, for this reason this research project aims to analyze the perceptions of seventh grade students on religious events held in public schools in Cuenca, Ecuador. For this purpose, a qualitative methodology of descriptive scope was used, for the collection of information semi-structured interviews were used with 12 students from a school in the city of Cuenca. The results showed a duality of opinions since there are students who consider that religion is very important in their academic and personal formation, on the other hand, there are students who think that religion and education are not linked and, in some cases, it makes students feel excluded in front of a different religion. It is concluded that the different religious activities within the educational institutions create diverse perspectives among the school community, this leads to the need to reflect on the practice of religion and education.
