Religious Education
In John Peter White (ed.), Rethinking the School Curriculum (2004)
Abstract
Religious Education (RE) currently enjoys the status of a compulsory curriculum subject in state schools in England and Wales. Though it is not part of the National Curriculum, and therefore not subject to a nationally prescribed syllabus, it is part of the basic curriculum to which all children are entitled. The question I raise in this chapter is whether RE merits this status. Is the study of religion sufficiently central to the task of preparing children for adult life to justify the existence of a separate and compulsory curriculum subject?Author Profiles
