Wednesday 6 November 2013 – National Curriculum

The session saw the launch the Youth Select Committee’s report on the National Curriculum.  The event gave the opportunity for attendees to discuss and debate the findings of the report, following its inquiry into whether the current curriculum encourages young people to gain the skills they need for later life.

The report on the Curriculum and Young People called for the government to publish a long term strategy for the promotion of PSHE education. It said this strategy should include milestones and targets for the improvement of PSHE education in schools and that government should review and update guidance on sex and relationships education to ensure that it is appropriate for today’s young people.
