	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/12/2016 answer text Discussions on transparency and corruption have formed part of our bilateral dialogue with the Republic of Korea. The Kim Young Ran Law, introduced earlier this year in South Korea and aimed at curbing excesses of hospitality and gift-giving, used the UK’s Bribery Act as a reference. This followed collaboration between the UK and the Korean authorities, including Korea’s Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC). Future plans include the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Serious Fraud Office and Korea’s Supreme Prosecutor’s Office on enhancing cooperation. Projects aimed at helping businesses and media stakeholders in Korea tackle corruption are also using British anti-corruption standards as guidance. answering member constituency Reading West answering member printed Alok Sharma question first answered 16/12/2016 11:58:37 answering member 4014 label Biography information for Sir Alok Sharma

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 13/12/2016 answer text <p>We encourage schools to create a whole-school culture that promotes health and well-being so that all our children are fit, healthy and able to learn. Schools have the flexibility to choose which educational resources they use to support their teaching and there are opportunities across the curriculum for pupils to be taught the knowledge and skills they need to support heathy living.</p><p> </p><p>The national curriculum, which came into effect in September 2014, sets the expectation that across a variety of subjects, pupils are taught about the importance of healthy eating and nutrition. For example, in primary schools, children are taught about healthy eating, where their food comes from, and how to prepare and cook a range of dishes. In secondary schools, cookery is now compulsory and children are taught to cook a range of healthy and nutritious meals. They are equipped with knowledge about healthy eating and what is meant by a balanced diet. Physical education (PE) is compulsory at all four key stages and should provide opportunities for pupils to become physically confident in a way that supports their health and fitness.</p><p> </p><p>The new national curriculum also made financial literacy statutory for the first time. It is taught as part of the citizenship curriculum for 11 to 16 year olds. Pupils are taught the functions and uses of money, the importance of personal budgeting, money management and the need to understand financial risk. The national curriculum for mathematics has also been strengthened to give pupils from 5 to 16 the necessary mathematical skills they need to make important financial decisions.</p><p> </p><p>Financial education can also be addressed more broadly as part of extra-curricular activities. Programmes such as the National Citizen Service give young people the chance to plan and potentially fundraise for a social action project.</p> answering member constituency Crewe and Nantwich answering member printed Edward Timpson question first answered 13/12/2016 15:59:57 answering member 1605 label Biography information for Edward Timpson
