Revitalizing Religious Education: A Comprehensive Review for Quality and Equity

This document outlines the ongoing Review of Religious Education (RE), emphasizing the aims, curriculum, and exemplification of effective RE practices. It identifies current strengths and weaknesses in RE, focusing on assessment and community resources while addressing the challenges stemming from limited government support. The review process is divided into four phases: evaluation, change agenda, communication of findings, and dissemination of the final report. This collective effort involves collaboration among educators, advisers, and community members to enhance RE quality and equity.
