Environment Protection and Litter: Curriculum
- Question
-
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of improving the national curriculum on education on littering and environmental responsibility.
- Answer
-
The independent curriculum and assessment review recommended earlier sequencing and updated climate change, nature and sustainability content within the national curriculum subjects of geography, science, citizenship and design and technology.
The government accepted this recommendation in its response, and work is underway to refresh the curriculum in line with the review’s recommendations. There will be a consultation on the draft national curriculum programmes of study and subject content for the first group of GCSEs, opening in September.
