  Should religious studies be part of the compulsory state school curriculum?
 
 
Title: Should religious studies be part of the compulsory state school curriculum?
Author: Cush, Denise
Appeared in: British journal of religious education
Paging: Volume 29 (2007) nr. 3 pages 217-227
Year: 2007-09
Contents: This article argues that of the various approaches taken in state education internationally, the inclusion of a discrete academic subject dealing with religious traditions and spiritual or secular alternatives is the most effective way of addressing religious plurality in education. It examines the increasing presence of religion in public discourse, various educational responses to this, and argues that a separate subject, taught by specialist teachers, is the most likely to achieve the aim of the United Nations for mutual understanding and peace between diverse religious and cultural traditions.
