Two thirds of primary school teachers know so little about RE they rely on the Internet to plan lessons.
The National Association of Teachers of RE said many feel they're own training didn't equip them to teach the subject.
The organisation's calling for a review of training for primary school teachers.
Speaking to Premier's Des Busteed on the News Hour was Deborah Weston an RE teacher and member of NATRE:
In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.
Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.
For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.
Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
