- National Syllabus, not local.

- incorporation of RE into English, Philosophy or History

- Religious Education (RE) replaced in law by:-

- - Religion & Secular Worldviews (RSW) or ...

- - Religion & Belief (R&B) or ...

- - Religion, Ethics and Critical Thinking (REACT).

- Ethics: religious & non-religious worldviews.

- Critical Thinking: includes The Scientific Method.
