ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
The Senior Religious of Education 2044 pamphlet was the great idea initiated by Bernard Tito.
This was done with the view of improving examination results at senior level at Kabanda
secondary school in Shiwang‟andu District of Muchinga Province. It was not an easy project, as
there were challenges experienced in terms of time, adequate research, resources and material.
However, this end product will help prepare the learners to develop good morals in themselves,
develop a sense of empathy, and produce a leaner that is capable, analytical, inquiry in all aspects
of life.
It is in this vein that i would like to thank George Benson Christian College of Education of
Namwianga Mission for laying a cornerstone as a foundation for me to build on, which I am still
doing. I have no doubt that this Pamphlet will directly or indirectly help (the leaner or the teacher)
benefit them in order to enhance good results in religious of education. .
I sincerely thank the Namwianga mission, Mr.Holy commonly known as Shadrick Sibwaalu, Mr
Roy Merit, and Mr Hobby for according me a sponsorship to pursue diploma in Mathematics and
Religious of Education at George Benson Christian College of Education (GBCCE)
I would like to thank Mr.Simon Samutala the director of The Falconer Kabulamema Children‟s
Orphanage Home for sponsoring my education from grade 10 to 12.
Above all, I would like to thank my wife Yvonne Chanda Tito for the unending love that always
surrounds me and the almighty God for his mercies

HOW TO TEACH 2044 RELIGIOUS OF EDUCATION
The aim of Religious Education is to foster the development of personally held civic, moral and
spiritual values. The learners are expected to attain a suitable level of competence in
knowledge and understanding of spiritual, religious and moral values and the traditions
within which they have developed [MOE 1996] .The appreciation of other religions should be
drawn from the four main religious traditions in Zambia, [Namely: Christianity, Hinduism
indigenous Zambian beliefs and Islam]
Values and character development occurs over a period of years and within a number of
environments. The family being the first institution one comes in contact with, the influence
of the family continues to be extremely important to a child‟s character and values
development as pupils progress through Education.
The teaching of Religious Education in schools is different from faith development or
Evangelism in churches. There is no room for Church Doctrines. The teachers have the
obligation of tackling religion from an Educational point of view. In this way young people
have the benefit of growing in faith in their churches and coming to a deeper understanding of
that commitment as they learn to express it in ways which are intelligible even to those who
belong to a different church or faith?
Religious Education has a special role to play in nation-building because it enables people to
overcome the barriers of religious prejudice and to avoid bigotry and fanatiasm. In order to
live together in harmony, people need to or understand one another and accept the fact that
others have ways of viewing the World and God which are fundamentally different. They need
to have accurate ideas of what other people believe and do. They must develop an attitude of
openness and tolerance so that they are ready to listen and ask questions instead of making
nasty judgments based on insufficient grounds or in accurate information. Moral and
Spiritual values embrace the attributes of the individual that contribute to the dignity of man,
betterment of self and the community, and to the general welfare of mankind.
At Grade ten to Twelve levels many of the challenges contained in the principles outlined can
be realized in the syllabus.
Syllabus 2044 consists of five major themes:
