Abstract: The vision for education as expressed in the primary school curriculum is to enable the child to live a full life as a child and as an individual. The curriculum, therefore, take into account the affective, spiritual, moral and religious dimensions of the child’s experiences. This study aimed to examine perception of teachers, parents and school management about religious education at primary schools. The study also focused on role playing by teachers, parents and management individually for RE. A sample of 200 participants was drawn from different private schools of 4 districts of Karachi including East Karachi, South Karachi, Malir Karachi and Korangi Karachi through using convenient quota sampling technique. Questionnaires were used as a tool for collecting data of research. The quantitative analysis of data revealed that teachers, parents and school management support religious education at school but findings also show the absence of enough interest for fulfilling the role and responsibilities of school management. The findings of this study have strong implications for policy makers, curriculum developers, and educationist for delivering planned and systematic teaching for promoting and enhancing effective religious education at each primary level school.
