Education written question – answered at on 11 January 2011.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education if he will discuss with Teach First the teaching of financial capability as part of teacher training.
The recently published schools White Paper 'The Importance of Teaching' sets out how schools will be freed from the constraints of central Government direction, including trusting the professional judgment of teachers to support all children to progress. Teachers, rather than Government, have the expertise to identify the resources that meet the needs of their pupils.
We have also announced our intention to hold an internal review of Personal Social Health and Economic (PSHE) education, which includes finance education. More details will be announced in the new year.
Any conclusions from this review that might lead to changes in teacher training will be notified to all teacher training providers, including Teach First.
