Lord Dormand of Easington
asked Her Majesty's Government:What action they are taking to ensure that the non-religious point of view is included in the school curriculum. [HL3770]
The Minister of State, Department for Education and Employment
(Baroness Blackstone)
The school curriculum requires schools to offer a broad and balanced curriculum which promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils and opportunities exist for teaching about a breadth of religious and non-religious views. The Government have no plans to bring religious education into the national curriculum or to remove the statutory framework for religious education.
