Summary of a randomly selected bill, powered by AnyModel.Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (Statutory Requirement) Bill
Current Stage: 2nd reading
Last updated: 30/03/2015
Overview
This bill makes Personal, Social, Health and Economic Education (PSHE), including sex and relationships education (SRE) and education on ending violence against women and girls, a statutory requirement in all state-funded schools in England and Wales. It also mandates teacher training and guidance on best practices for teaching and inspecting PSHE and SRE.
Description
The bill amends the Education Act 2002 to include PSHE as a foundation subject in the national curriculum for all state-funded schools. PSHE will cover topics such as:
- Sex and relationships education
- Ending violence against women and girls
- Emotional, mental, and well-being
- Equality
- Alcohol, tobacco, and drugs
- Individual safety (including online)
- Physical health, nutrition, and physical activity
- Personal finance, careers, enterprise, and employability
The specific curriculum details will be determined by each school's governing body and head teacher, guided by principles of accuracy, age-appropriateness, and the promotion of equality and acceptance of diversity. The Secretary of State will issue and regularly review guidance on best practices, informed by government strategies and international declarations. Teacher training will also be mandated to ensure the effective delivery of PSHE.
Government Spending
The bill doesn't specify exact figures for government spending. However, it will likely necessitate increased funding for teacher training, curriculum development, and the production and dissemination of guidance materials. The exact cost will depend on the scale of the teacher training program and resources needed for curriculum implementation.
Groups Affected
- Schools: Will be required to implement PSHE and SRE, potentially needing additional resources and staffing.
- Teachers: Will need to undergo mandatory training on PSHE and SRE.
- Pupils: Will receive statutory PSHE and SRE education.
- Parents: May have differing views on the content of PSHE and SRE.
- Government: Will incur costs associated with teacher training, guidance development, and monitoring implementation.
