Background

Review the Religious Education curriculum in all schools to ensure all major religions are taught with equal depth and respect. I believe Christianity should still be taught, but religions like Sikhism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism should receive more meaningful and balanced coverage.

Additional details

I feel many students only learn surface-level information about religions outside Christianity, which can lead to stereotypes and misunderstanding. As a Sikh, I feel the teaching of other religions in schools are often reduced to festivals or basics instead of their history, beliefs and contributions.
