The Final Report of the Commission on Religious Education (CoRE) was launched on 12 September, at the House of Commons, after publication on 9 September. The report, entitled Religion and Worldviews: the way forward, A national plan for RE, was the result of 2 years’ worth of evidence-gathering, debate and analysis by the Commissioners.
The Free Church Education Committee has been fully involved in the process, submitting responses to the consultations and giving oral evidence at the regional hearing in Birmingham. The Committee will be responding fully once it has had the opportunity to discuss the report in more detail. The Free Church Education Committee Response to the Final Report of the Commission on Religious Education is available to view here.
Churches are encouraged to read the REPORT, of which there is also an executive summary, to gain an understanding of the far-reaching changes the Commission is recommending.
