Antisemitism: Curriculum
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what assessment she has made of the potential merits of making education on antisemitism mandatory in schools.
Answered by Georgia Gould
There is no place for antisemitism in our society.
The department supports teachers through our Educate Against Hate website, which provides teachers with a range of free, quality-assured resources, including on building resilience to antisemitism, teaching about tolerance and rejecting discrimination.
The department has committed £7 million to fund projects and programmes to improve confidence and resilience in tackling antisemitism in education. My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has also asked Sir David Bell to undertake an independent review into antisemitism in schools and colleges, which will be published this autumn.
