Dear Sir
GUIDELINES ON RELIGIOUS AND MORAL EDUCATION
This Circular conveys to education authorities and schools
guidance from the Secretary of State on the teaching of
Religious and Moral Education to pupils aged 5-14. In preparing
the guidance, account has been taken of the responses received
to Scottish Office Education Department Working Paper No.
7: Religious and Moral Education, which was issued in May
1991. The Secretary of State is grateful to all who responded
to the invitation to comment on that Working Paper.
The Secretary of State believes the guidance now issued
provides a sound basis for a coherent and progressive approach
to Religious and Moral Education in primary and early secondary
education. Through the use of these guidelines, schools
should be able to design, plan and implement policies and
programmes which will give all pupils a balanced and worthwhile
experience in this area of the curriculum.
The Secretary of State commends the guidelines and invites
education authorities and schools to use them as the basis
of their Religious and Moral Education programmes during
Session 1992/93 and beyond.
Any enquiries about this circular should be made to Mr
M G Wright (telephone 031 244 4433) at the above address.
Yours faithfully
