Education: Citizenship
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential impact of the withdrawal of government funding for Global Citizenship Education in England on the provision of Global Citizenship Education programmes.
Answered by Georgia Gould
Education is a devolved matter, and the response outlines the information for England only.
The Scottish Government is responsible for schools and teaching in Scotland, including any decisions about Global Citizenship Education programmes.
In England the national curriculum for citizenship education covers democracy, justice and human rights; media and financial literacy; and how citizens can influence decisions.
The government has established an independent Curriculum and Assessment Review, which seeks to deliver a rich, broad, inclusive and innovative curriculum that equips young people with the knowledge, skills and attributes needed to thrive in life and work. The Review will publish its final report in autumn 2025.
