Great opportunity to give evidence about ways to secure high-quality #RE to the House of Commons Education Select Committee on behalf of the #RECouncil today. @deborahweston.bsky.social
Good to catch up with @lundieeducation.bsky.social and hear his evidence about media literacy too.

Thank you Jasmine. For the record, my question was, "What do you think might be the advantages and disadvantages of including Religious Education in the National Curriculum, if we are trying to resolve the post-code lottery for provision and standards right now?"

I reckon if you put me and @deborahweston.bsky.social in a room together for 24 hours and then came to let us out, we’d still be sat there nattering!

You know that feeling is mutual. Did you notice how we all instinctively endorsed each others’ messages today? Fantastic sense of unity.

Please ask your MP why @educationgovuk withdrew subject knowledge enhancement grants for RE when 27% of religious education 2024/5 recruits secured a place on condition of that grant? RE missed the target by 22% so surely no grant means fewer recruits? @NATREupdate @bphillipsonMP

Each year I get the data that would allow me to do this calculation. November for provisional data and February for revised.

Deborah Weston @deborahweston.bsky.social · Aug 28

I wonder how I could crunch the data to explore this question more closely? Ideas?
