Abstract
In 1996 the Zambian government published Educating our Future: National Policy on Education. The document affirms the aim for school education, which is to promote the full development of the physical, intellectual, social, affective, moral and spiritual qualities of pupils so that they become complete persons.1 This paper discusses the question of gender within African traditional societies and how RE, within the provisions of the policy document, could respond to gender issues within African traditional religions. The paper acknowledges that African traditional religions may discriminate against women but also argues that the African heritage allows for an appreciation of women as full members of society 1 The aim for education in Zambia was stated in Focus on Learning (Ministry of Education 1992) and later reproduced in Educating our Future published in 1996
