Integrative RE in Flanders: A Decade Later
British Journal of Religious Education, v43 n4 p389-399 2021
Since 2009, there is a discussion about how RE should be organised in state and 'private' (mainly Catholic) schools in Flanders. Especially the proposal to introduce non-denominational and integrative RE for all pupils in all schools stimulated the debate. More than ten years later, the RE system, which is based on (semi-)confessional and in state schools also separate RE courses, has not changed profoundly. Despite this status quo, several initiatives have been taken to improve the RE system from within. This article describes and evaluates these initiatives from the perspective of our preference for integrative RE for all.
