Abstract

Kevin McCarthy sees a slight irony in the idea of inspecting the spiritual dimension of education. Nevertheless, he argues strongly that schools' response to this should be creative. The resulting policy must be a whole-school one that involves both horizontal and vertical curriculum development.

Starting from the students' own perceptions, this programme considers the big issue which underlies science: that of ‘the spiritual dimension’.
