Religious Education

Religious Education is the term used to describe the teaching of religion; this includes the differences between different religious organizations and different religious backgrounds. Children are often taught about religion from a young age at school, for example the different religious festivals throughout the school are generally celebrated. A particular festival often celebrated is Diwali and is very popular amongst young pupils as schools commonly arrange for pupils to see Indian dress and sample Indian foods.

The main teaching about different religions comes when pupils begin Key Stage 3 at school and start secondary school. Pupils will gain knowledge in different religious organizations and gain a deeper insight into each different religion. At Key Stage 3 pupils are taught little about Christianity and more about Hinduism and Islam. This encourages pupils to have a broader mind to other religions and gain understanding into why people are different.

When pupils move into Key Stage 4 they begin learning more about Christianity, this is because GCSE examinations are based more heavily around Christianity teachings and morals. Religious Education is not a compulsory subject in every school at GCSE level; however, more schools are making the subject compulsory to their pupils. Religious Education does not just occur in schools, teachings of religion quite often occur at home with a person's family and sometimes if that family belongs to a particular religion in their place of worship. For many people the teaching of religious education is very important as it allows different cultures to be understood and morals to be established.
