unstar this property answer text <p>The Government believes that every child should experience a high quality creative education throughout their time at school. That is why subjects such as music, art and design, drama and dance are included in the National Curriculum for 5-14 year olds. The National Curriculum is compulsory for maintained schools. Academies and free schools are not required to teach the National Curriculum but can use it as a benchmark. They can also use their freedoms to innovate and build more stretching and tailored curricula, to meet the particular needs of their pupils or their local area or the particular ethos of the school.</p><p> </p><p>All schools, including academies and free schools, must provide a broad and balanced curriculum that promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>Prisons should be places of safety and reform. I am determined to make sure that we achieve better outcomes for all prisoners including in education, and I want to see much clearer accountability for prison governors for the education delivered in prison and the results prisoners achieve. Mandatory education assessments were introduced for the first time in August 2014, for all new receptions to custody in England. This shows that in the year to September 2015 fewer than half the people entering prisons had basic standards of English and maths, and around a third had identified learning difficulties or disabilities. Data prior to August 2014 is not available.</p><p> </p><p>Prison education is a devolved matter in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.</p> more like this

unstar this property answer text <p>Central to the Government’s long term economic plan is the creation of jobs and making work pay. We know that work is the best route out of poverty so our welfare reforms are focussed on supporting those people who can work to find and keep work rather than rely on benefits, ensuring fairness and affordability for the tax payer. We are committed to balancing incentivising work with protecting pensioners and those who cannot work, and help with the costs of additional needs. That is why benefits for the additional costs of disability, and for carers, are up-rated each year in line with prices, and the basic and new State Pensions are up-rated with our triple lock guarantee.</p> more like this
