THE TEACHING OF RELIGIOUS AND MORAL EDUCATION IN A MULTI-RELIGIOUS AND A MULTI-CULTURAL ENVIRONMENT: THE NAMIBIAN CASE
Abstract
With the introduction of a secular constitution in Namibia, it was also obvious that Biblical Instruction could not be taught at schools as though the Christian religion enjoys a privileged status in the country. Religious and Moral Education was introduced in the schools instead, and apart from being radically different in contents from the Biblical Instruction syllabi, a new approach to teaching was also introduced. A dialogue model replaced the instructional model in the hope that this will draw more interest from the learners in the schools.Authors retain copyright and grant the Journal right of first publication with the work simultaneously licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution License that allows others to share the work with an acknowledgement of the work's authorship and initial publication in this Journal.
