In light of the Federal and Regional elections on Sunday 9 June, here are some resources which outline each party’s thoughts on religious education in Belgium:
“ Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me... for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” ”
Welcome to Anglican Religious Education
Did you know that Anglican Religious Education (A.R.E.) is part of the educational syllabus as one of the compulsory school subjects in Flanders and Brussels? A.R.E. can be requested by parents for their children in any communal and state school at primary and secondary level. The teaching language is Flemish.
A.R.E. teachers have pedagogical & subject specific training.
Thinking of becoming an A.R.E. teacher?
A.R.E. teachers are required to have a degree in theology or religious education as well as qualifications in pedagogical studies. In certain cases, it may be possible to start teaching during the time of study.
