New DCSF Research

The latest batch of research reports from the DCSF have just been published; here are two which may interest our readers:

If you're interested in Religious Education, a new report entitled Materials used to Teach about World Religions in Schools in England takes an in-depth look at the topic, as well as containing useful information relating to the ongoing debates surrounding faith schools. A summary version is also available.

Also new is Parental Opinion Survey 2009, the latest annual publication which researches parents' confidence in their own skills, and their thoughts about the support services available to them. Again, a summary version is also available.
