Religious Education 'not suitable' for NI society, study suggests

  • The study shows Northern Ireland's Religious Education is not suitable for its increasingly plural society, ahead of reforms following the Supreme Court ruling.
  • A February 2025 survey of about 1,050 people and teacher focus groups informed the findings.
  • The UK Supreme Court ruled that Christian-focused RE in Northern Ireland was unlawful and must be reformed.
  • 38% of respondents were unhappy with primary RE focusing only on Christian beliefs, while 37% were satisfied.
  • 60% said learning about multiple religions would benefit pupils and reduce prejudice.
  • Some respondents viewed RE as confessional and feared indoctrination.
  • Researchers called for a new RE syllabus with input from diverse faiths beyond the four main Christian churches.
  • The report suggested a code of conduct for external visitors delivering assemblies.
  • Education Minister Paul Givan said the RE syllabus would be reformed, though current law remains in place.
  • The study was funded by Culham St Gabriel's Trust and others, including NI Interfaith Forum and Parents for Inclusive Education.
