Teaching Citizenship and Democracy in Schools – Curriculum and Assessment Review next steps
The DfE Curriculum and Assessment Review is a pivotal moment for the future of education in the UK. The Secretary of State has set out a clear ambition for the Review, to “enable children and young people to develop the knowledge and skills required to thrive as citizens, in work and throughout life”. Many agree that it is time to reset priorities in schools to ensure the curriculum is broad, relevant and motivating for all learners, and guarantees high quality, statutory Citizenship for every learner.
