Zusammenfassung:Religious education has long been part of Zambia’s primary and secondary education curriculum. It will be argued that, though its role has changed, it has never been highly educational. This is seen to be a major challenge today in the light of a swiftly expanding urban population who find themselves ever more rootless. To address it, it is contended that religious education needs to assume a better ‘learning from’ dimension. Failure to do so means continued disservice to the Zambian school population and may lead to the disappearance of religious education from the national curriculum.
