Nursery World - Views sought on RE changes

* A non-statutory national framework for religious education in England has been produced by the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority (QCA) at the request of the Department for Education and Skills. The QCA said its aim was to clarify standards in religious education, promote high-quality teaching and learning, and recognise its role in pupils' spiritual, moral, social, and cultural development. A section of the consultation booklet shows how RE helps children as young as three with the Early Learning Goals.
