This article examines the changes that have taken place in the teaching and the curriculum of Religious
Education (RE) in Botswana from 1966 to today. It demonstrates that the teaching of the subject in the
country’s primary and secondary schools has contributed to the development of social values and moral
standards in the learners. We also observe that the ecumenical teaching approach has infl uenced the learn-
ers to be tolerant to people holding divergent views. The article does not only offer background material
for understanding how religion infl uenced the past, but also how it continues to contribute to the society
today.
