Key Stage 3
RE at Exam Level​
Comment from John Keast, Chair, Religious Education Council of England and Wales (REC):
“RE A level provides an excellent foundation for a range of careers – from medicine to public service to business. Imagine how better prepared a doctor or business professional is if they understand the culture and customs of the individuals they are treating or dealing with. Or how a broad and deep knowledge of different world faiths and beliefs can help young people truly understand the context of events in the Middle East.
​
As our world becomes increasingly interdependent and we interact with more diverse groups day to day, RE is becoming ever more relevant.”
