CHILDREN'S EDUCATION AND THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM

EDM number 1186 in 2008-09, proposed by Nigel Evans on 25/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Schools.

That this House is dismayed at proposals to include internet skills such as twitter and blogging in the national curriculum at the expense of traditional subjects including the study of the Second World War; recognises the significance and importance of ensuring that future generations understand the sacrifices that their grandparents and other relatives made during the War; believes that a vastly reduced history syllabus allowing schools to choose two periods of British history severely limits a child's understanding of the past and therefore the present; and calls on the Government to ensure that children are not taught a piecemeal history of this country.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
