Citizenship Through Secondary Religious Education

Citizenship education is now a statutory part of the secondary school National Curriculum, and R.E. is one of the subjects through which it can be taught. This book has been written for student teachers and teachers who are looking for guidance.

Religion has achieved ever greater prominence in debates about citizenship at every level of cultural, economic, social and political life. Citizenship through Secondary Religious Education highlights some of the key issues surrounding citizenship for the R.E. teacher.

Topics selected include those of historical and immediate relevance to teaching citizenship through religious education. There are chapters covering general critical planning issues and those concentrating on specific themes such as:

The open society and its enemies
planning for citizenship through religious education
genocide
asylum
freedom of religion and belief
sustainable development
the rights of indigenous peoples.

Practical in its style, the guidance presented in this book will be invaluable to teachers and student teachers of religious education and specialists in citizenship. Those who have been allocated responsibility for teaching Citizenship or Religious Education, or are looking to teach them as second subjects, will also find this book a useful resource.
