#RE has faced decades of neglect, leading to an ongoing shortage of trained teachers and a postcode lottery of provision. Including RE in the national curriculum is now an opportunity to end this. @NATREupdate @RECouncil @DeborahWeston #teamRE #reteacher

We welcome the recommendation by the Curriculum and Assessment Review to include RE in the #NationalCurriculum. We look forward to working with the Government and the RE community to shape the future of the subject. religiouseducationcouncil.org.uk/2025/11/new-... @NATREupdate @RECouncil

On this morning’s BBC R4 Sunday Programme, a DfE spokesperson said that RE trainee numbers are up — true, due to the bursary they’ve now scrapped! The rise proves incentives work. Removing them will undo the recovery. #TeamRE

RE is valued by employers and parents, yet there is a crisis of specialism in schools.

A quarter of a million students take a GCSE in RS. Despite this, half of those delivering the lessons mainly teach another subject. Discussing the big questions in life is a vital part of young people’s education. #Worldviews #TeamRE

GCSE RS remains one of the most widely taken subjects at KS4. 249,422 students took a GCSE RS this year. We urgently need more specialist RE teachers to ensure every child gets access to high-quality RE. #Religion #Worldviews #TeamRE

RS A-level entries have dipped slightly (1.3%). With an ongoing shortage of subject specialists, @natre-update.bsky.social and the RE Council are warning that more and more young people who want to take the subject at A-Level are unable to. #TeamRE #Worldviews #religion #TheREpodcast1

A-level RS entries have held steady this year, with a lower decline than most other humanities. RS allows young people to explore the religious and non-religious worldviews that continue to influence our society. #TeamRE #Worldviews #Religion #TheREPodcast

New study from @pewresearch.org shows a gradual move away from organised religion across the world. But what does this mean for a personal worldview when it comes to the big questions in life? Let us know how you'd explain this trend in your classroom ⬇️ www.pewresearch.org/religion/202...
