A-level Religious Studies entries increase for third year
17 August 2006
The publication of A-level results today has brought the third successive rise in the number of entrants for Religious Studies A-level with an increase of 7.98%. There were 43% more A-level entrants taking Religious Studies this year than three years ago. Coupled with this, there is a 7.25% increase in the number of entrants for AS level Religious Studies compared with a year ago.
Speaking today, Canon John Hall, the Church of England’s Chief Education Officer said:
"We will not build a cohesive society unless we foster understanding of people's spiritual motivations and needs. Studying A-level Religious Studies can make a real contribution to that. The challenging and interesting questions it asks increase our understanding of the different faiths in Britain and the world today. By choosing Religious Studies, A-level students grasp the importance of this way of enquiring into the world we live in."
