MP's have banded together to put pressure on the educational secretary Nicky Morgan to make personal, social and health education (PSHE) and sex and relationship education (SRE) compulsory in all state schools. MPs argue PSHE provide pupils with the "knowledge and confidence to make decisions which will affect their wellbeing and relationships, both now and in the future”, statements like these are rarely going to attract opposition, such is there broadness and ambiguity.
There are a few questions to ask here:
1. With an ever crowded curriculum will teachers even have the time to deliver a compulsory PSHE and SRE curriculum?
2. Will this apply to private schools? Why/ why not?
3. What do teachers think about this, seeing as they will have to deliver this?
4. Is this a genuine child centred proposal or a way for ministers to score political points of one another?
Let's wait and see what the outcome of this is, as schools up and down the country wait for a robust response from the DFE.
