The Family and Religious Studies learning area is a two year syllabus that provides learners with skills that enable them to critically reflect on religious concepts and experiences. The learning area helps the learners understand and interpret religious and moral concepts in their everyday life. It is a multi-faith, non-proselytizing approach to the study of religion which makes learners to be aware of their respective religious identities in the context of Unhu/Ubuntu/Vumunhu and religious plurality. It inculcates in the learners the invaluable ability to hold responsible dialogue where they tolerate each other’s religion in a peaceful environment. The learning area enables learners to evaluate and synthesize religious concepts to formulate theoretical frameworks for sustainable development. The syllabus employs a thematic approach that will graduate learners to a mature relationship with religious and moral thinking and practice. The learning phase will see learners being assessed through both continuous assessment and summative examination.
