Download: Overarching experiences for religious and moral education
Scotland is a nation whose people hold a wide range of beliefs, from the many branches of the Christian faith represented throughout the land, to those who follow the world’s other major religions and those whose beliefs lie outwith religious traditions. Such diversity enriches the Scottish nation and serves as an inspiring and thought-provoking background for Scotland’s children and young people in the development of their own beliefs and values.
Religious and moral education helps children and young people to explore the world’s major religions and views which are independent of religious belief, and to be challenged by these different beliefs and values. It supports children and young people in developing their values and their capacity for moral judgement. Through developing awareness and appreciation of the value of each individual in a diverse society, religious and moral education engenders responsible attitudes to other people. This awareness and appreciation will assist in counteracting prejudice and intolerance in issues such as sectarianism and discrimination more broadly.
