This book examines how policies designed to integrate Muslim communities, along with fears of extremism, are shaping the way schools and teachers approach the teaching of Islam. It shows how Islam is represented in text books and in relation to other religions and engages with complex themes that link the role of education to identity and values. The book challenges the way current approaches to Islam, including Prevent and the social cohesion agenda, locate Islam within education and offers a new perspective for teachers and schools who are committed to developing an open and critical environment for learning. "Islam and Education" will be a provocative and challenging read for education professionals and those interested in the links between religion, education and social policy. For Religious Education teachers, it is essential reading.
