My religious education in NI was a joke. I remember my GCSE paper having “write the lord’s prayer” for 20 marks or something. I moved to Scotland knowing nothing beyond Christianity and had to educate myself on the religious backgrounds of the people I was suddenly interacting with.

This headline is wrong. Northern Ireland ≠ ‘North Ireland’. Parts of the Republic of Ireland (not in the UK) lie further north than Northern Ireland (one of the four nations in the UK with a different education system).

Edit – I read it thinking north English areas were teaching something odd in R.e. lessons lol. Andy Burnham maybe “As King of the North he is appointed by divine right…”

> “RE is one of the most important subjects on the curriculum, as it considers life’s big questions, provides a road map for navigating life’s ups and downs

Seriously? If modern education is in any way using religions to ‘provide a road map for navigating life’, education is dramatically failing.

> and presents opportunities to learn about what Christians and others believe.

Yeah…. not so sure that will go down well if lessons cover the more … spicy … bits of the bible or quran.
