Closed Make it compulsory for all religions practiced in the UK to be taught in schools

Closed on

I would like the Government to make it part of the national curriculum that school students should be taught about all religions practiced in the UK.

The national curriculum requires that schools teach students about Christianity and other principal religions, but it is up to schools how to approach this.

There are too many cases of people not understanding other religions, such as Sikhism, which can result in bullying.

Let’s educate the youth of this nation present and in the future about all religions.
