Animal Welfare: Education
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, whether she plans to take steps to help support schools to teach children about animal care.
Answered by Catherine McKinnell
Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.
The national curriculum in England provides a broad framework within which schools have the flexibility to develop the content of their own curricula. Animal care can be taught within both the science and the relationships, sex and health curricula.
