Religious Diversity in Early Education - Mandy Butler - Bog

Early education refers to the teaching of young children. Religious diversity refers to the existence of differences in religious beliefs and practices of different religions. Frequently, the early childhood educational play schools or kindergartens are the first settings where children are exposed to religions and religious attitudes that differ from those experienced by them in their home environment. The learning of religious diversity is crucial for students since it provides them with an understanding of other religions and also makes them sensitive to differences. Religious diversity in the classrooms also promotes mutual respect and trust among children. This book studies and analyses concepts of religious diversity in early education. It will also provide interesting topics for research, which interested readers can take up. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.
