Ethical Veganism Added To Religion And Worldviews School Programme

Jigsaw Education Group, a UK-based education resource provider, has introduced a resource pack on ethical veganism for schools in collaboration with The Vegan Society. These resources are part of the Religion and Worldviews programme and aim to teach students about ethical veganism as a recognized worldview. The materials provide teachers with well-researched information to educate students on veganism as a compassionate worldview that promotes respect for all living beings and the environment.

The introduction of these materials comes as schools in the UK transition from teaching Religious Education to Religion and Worldviews. With an increasing number of children choosing to be vegan, the resources aim to create a more inclusive and diverse learning environment. Initiatives like Veganism in Education and Vegan Inclusive Education are also providing materials to help teachers promote compassion, healthy choices, and inclusivity in schools. Schools are legally obligated to support vegan students under the Equalities Act 2010, which includes providing vegan food and creating an inclusive environment.
