The Accord Coalition – which links both religious and secular organisations in campaigning for inclusive education – has called upon the Secretary of State for Education, Michael Gove, to place Religious Education (RE) on the National Curriculum in view of the widespread public support for RE in schools, as shown in a new YouGov poll commissioned by the Religious Education Council of England and Wales:"RE has been on the curriculum since 1944 and in that time has changed from Biblical study to include world religions and non-religious worldviews."
"Our ambition is to promote widespread understanding of how academically rigorous and personally inspiring good RE can be and how it equips young people to appreciate a range of religious and non-religious beliefs in our world."
