In some
countries, religious education is a required part of the national
curriculum. It may surprise those in USA, France, and other countries
with strict separation of church and state, to hear that in relatively
secular UK, religious education is compulsory through primary and
a considerable part of secondary education. Admittedly, it is these
days multi-religious, but there are still many opportunities for Christian
teachers (and even invited visitors) to cover large areas of the curriculum
in a sensitive manner from an evangelical viewpoint.
Young people often undertake online research to find additional material
which covers Religious Education (RE). 'REQuest' has been designed
to resource students (and teachers) in UK to explain Christian beliefs
and practices in terms appropriate to the UK national curriculum,
right up to GCSE level.

Damaris and Stapleford Centre also offer resource for Christian RE
teachers:

such as those covered at:

Here's an opportunity to create a religious studies homework portal
with links to many appropriate pages:

Most students also study secular set books and plays during their
schooling. This also gives us the potential to offer thought-provoking
material based on books and plays:
