Sung-Woo
Hi, my name is Sung-Woo Back from Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
I am one of John's research students, and studying how to do R.E in the Christian secondary schools in Korea. This is a time of rapid transition in Korean education. The competition and one-dimensional values of modern and industrial life are creating a sense of passivity and hopelessness in the minds of many students. I am trying to develop a religious education curriculum for the Christian secondary schools which will help to bring students into a greater sense of their own creative powers. Studying this with John has a lot of advantages because of his professional knowledge and his sympathetic understanding of the situation.

My name is Tebogo Ethel Seretse from Botswana in Africa. I obtained my first degree BA+CDE in English and Theology, at The University of Botswana and Swaziland in 1982. In 1990 qualified for Masters degree in Religious Education at Lancaster University in England.
I have taught in Botswana for eighteen years. Eight years were spent teaching in senior secondary schools while ten years were spent in tertiary education, at Molepolole College of Education as a lecturer and Head of department in Religious Education. I am a co-author of a religious education textbooks : Junior Secondary Religious Education for Botswana, Book 1,2,3 by G.Kgathi, R.R.Seganabeng, and T.E.Seretse.
I registered with Birmingham University as an MPhil research student in Religious Education. I am hoping to transfer into a Phd programme. My research topic is: Religious Beliefs of Batswana Children and The Teaching of Concepts of World Religions in Community Junior Schools.
This will help me to investigate important elements of human experience of youth in Botswana culture. I also hope to explore teaching strategies which could encourage reflective thinking in Religious education in Botswana.
