Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Derek Twigg (Labour). It was answered on Monday, 17 November 2008 on behalf of the Department for Children, Schools and Families.
Sports and Arts Participation
- Question
- In my constituency, there has been a massive increase in sporting facilities in schools over the past 10 years. Participation is important and any increase is to be welcomed, but what is the Department doing to make sure we have more competitive sport, as competitiveness in schools is very important in improving our chances of success later on in various sports?
- Answer
-
I assure my hon. Friend that we are encouraging competitive sport in schools. We have a national network of 225 competition managers working in partnership with schools, alongside national school sport week and, of course, our UK school games.
