Faith In the System

on BBC Two England

Take two schools. One is in Birmingham, a multicultural urban area. The majority of its pupils are Muslims. The other is in a mainly white, rural area of Gloucestershire. By law both schools should hold a daily act of Christian collective worship and offer a religious education that is mainly Christian. But is that appropriate in a school where Christianity is not the predominantly practised religion?
At a time when church attendances are at an all-time low and family values are a political battlefield, this programme visits both schools to report on the contentious issue of religious education, examining the subject from the point of view of pupils, teachers and parents.
