REC reaffirms commitment to non-religious worldview teaching

In our most recent curriculum document, Religious education: a national curriculum framework, we made clear our policy that religious education in schools and colleges should include the study of non-religious worldviews alongside religious traditions.

Dr Joyce Miller, Chair of the REC, said ‘The REC Board has agreed unanimously that the optional systematic study of a non-religious worldview should be introduced at GCSE level.  We want to promote a rigorous and inclusive study of religions and beliefs that is relevant and challenging for young people of all faiths and none.’
