Religion
| |
Religious Education must be taught in all
schools, even though there are no requirements set down for it in
the National Curriculum. This is to allow each Local Education
Authority to vary what is taught to reflect the needs of the people
in their area.
You can find out what your Local Education Authority expects its
schools to teach by asking to see its "Agreed Syllabus".
You are likely to find that although there is an emphasis on
teaching about Christianity, children are also taught about the
other faiths that are present in the United Kingdom, such as
Judaism, Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam and Buddhism. They will learn
about important Christian festivals, and compare them to those of
other faiths; and about the Bible and the holy books of the other
religions.
Children are encouraged to respect the beliefs of others, and to
understand the values shared by all the major religions - honesty,
caring, forgiveness and justice.
