Teaching about the Holocaust is a mandatory part of the history curriculum at key stage 3 for maintained schools, and can provide a focus on all groups who were victims of this genocide. We and the Pears Foundation jointly fund the Centre for Holocaust Education to provide professional development for teachers to support this. Schools are free to teach about diversity among people of different races and cultures and about the impact of discrimination on individuals and communities in PSHE lessons. Our guidance on bullying also makes clear that schools should take measures to prevent bullying, which could involve talking to pupils about difference, potentially through dedicated events or projects.</p> answering member constituency Stratford-on-Avon answering member printed Nadhim Zahawi question first answered 06/03/2018 09:42:34 answering member 4113 label Biography information for Nadhim Zahawi
