Uganda Primary 7 Religious Education Curriculum

The Primary 7 Religious Education curriculum in Uganda encompasses two distinct subjects: Christian Religious Education (CRE) and Islamic Religious Education (IRE). Students choose to study either CRE or IRE. The curriculum aims to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of their chosen faith, fostering spiritual and moral development. The curriculum is designed to be learner-centered, encouraging critical thinking and application of religious principles to daily life.

Christian Religious Education (CRE)

The CRE curriculum covers various topics, including the Holy Spirit, Christian living, and the Bible. Learning outcomes focus on appreciating the purpose of marriage, developing friendship skills, and controlling emotions and instincts. Materials are available to support home study, such as those developed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Textbooks, such as the MK Standard Christian Religious Education Book 7, aim to develop learners emotionally, spiritually, and academically.

Islamic Religious Education (IRE)

The IRE curriculum covers topics relevant to the Islamic faith, including Islamic teachings, practices, and history. Resources such as lesson notes and textbooks are available to support learning. The curriculum is designed to provide a comprehensive understanding of Islam and its relevance to students' lives.

Both the CRE and IRE curricula emphasize the importance of values and moral development, aiming to equip students with the knowledge and skills to become responsible and contributing members of society. The Longhorn Primary Religious Education series is a commonly used resource, covering both CRE and IRE comprehensively.
