Education Policy

• BHA education policy summarised: BHA Education Policy in a Nutshell
• Religion in Schools - education issues
• Religious Education and how we would like to see it develop – the BHA seeks reform and improvement, not abolition. We would like RE to include Humanism and to be relevant to all pupils.
  
• SACREs and ASCs and why humanists should be represented on them.
  
• Spirituality’ and ‘spiritual development’in schools, and how humanists consider these terms in a non-religious sense.
  
• Religious (or “faith-based”) schools - why the BHA would like to see them phased out
• Worship in schools - humanists support good inclusive school assemblies, not ' collective worship’
