answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>The use of companies that sell bespoke essays to students who pass the work off as their own undermines the reputation of the education system in this country, and devalues the hard work of those succeeding on their own merit.</p><p> </p><p>The government has a clear expectation that educational institutions do everything in their power to prevent students being tempted by these companies. In a university context that may be through introducing initiatives such as honour codes, and making sure their students are aware of the severe consequences they face if they are caught cheating.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, the department will be publishing an Education Technology strategy in the spring which will include encouraging technology companies to identify how anti-cheating software can tackle the growth of essay mills and stay one step ahead of the cheats.</p><p> </p><p>The government is supporting the Quality Assurance Agency for Higher Education (QAA) to put pressure on technology companies who readily facilitate the use of essay mills. This supports and furthers the 2017 efforts of the QAA and National Union of Students and Universities UK who responded to the government’s request to develop guidance for higher education providers on how to combat the threat of “contract cheating”.</p><p> </p><p>The Office for Students is the independent regulator of higher education in England. Through the Higher Education and Research Act 2017, the government has given the Office for Students the power to take action if higher education providers are found to be, in any way, complicit in cheating. This includes imposing fines or ultimately de-registration, the highest possible punishment. The government remains open to the future need for additional legislation, and will continue to investigate all options available.</p><p> </p><p>The Office of Qualifications and Examinations Regulation (Ofqual) is the independent regulator of qualifications in England for secondary school pupils. In reformed GCSEs, AS and A levels Ofqual have significantly reduced the use of non-exam assessment - primarily permitting it only where the prescribed subject content cannot be assessed within an examination. This means that - in most subjects - a pupil could not use an essay writing service to gain an unfair advantage in an assessment.</p><p> </p><p>In all GCSEs, AS and A levels, Ofqual rules require exam boards to do all they can to prevent malpractice and maladministration when developing, delivering and awarding regulated qualifications, to investigate allegations and suspicions of malpractice when they arise and to impose appropriate sanctions when malpractice is confirmed.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Kingswood answering member printed Chris Skidmore question first answered 25/03/2019 17:57:03 answering member 4021 label Biography information for Chris Skidmore

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>All state maintained secondary schools must teach art and design, music and a modern foreign language (MFL) to pupils at Key Stage 3 (pupils aged 11 – 14). Drama is taught as part of the English curriculum and dance is included in PE &amp; sport. At Key Stage 4 (pupils aged 14 – 16), there is a statutory entitlement for every pupil to take an arts subject and a MFL leading to a recognised qualification, if they wish to do so. Academies must teach a broad and balanced curriculum. Ofsted is also currently undertaking a consultation on its proposed new education inspection framework. The consultation runs until 5 April. Under its proposals, inspectors will assess the extent to which schools, including academies, are providing a broad and balanced curriculum for their pupils which helps them acquire knowledge, understanding and skills in all aspects of their education.</p><p> </p><p>Between 2016 and 2020 the Government is spending almost £500 million on a range of arts and cultural education programmes. The Department has also launched a £4.8 million MFL Pedagogy Pilot to support secondary schools in delivering a high quality languages education.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 25/03/2019 16:46:47 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>Schools provide a wide range of extra-curricular activities. For example, a report by Birmingham City University published by Arts Council England shows that in 2016/17 schools delivered over 8,600 ensembles and choirs in partnership with their local music education hub. They also delivered over 31,000 ensembles and choirs independently. Between 2016/20 the Department is spending almost £500 million on a range of creative arts and cultural education programmes that take place in and out of school.

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/03/2019 answer text <p>Following reform of the national curriculum in 2014, schools have greater flexibility to ensure their school curriculum suits the individual needs of pupils. Within this framework, schools are free to choose texts that will stimulate and challenge their pupils, reflecting diverse viewpoints and minority groups, including reflecting their diverse viewpoints. More specifically:</p><p>The history programme of study explains that the purpose of the subject is to help “pupils to understand the complexity of people’s lives, the process of change, the diversity of societies and relationships between different groups, as well as their own identity and the challenges of their time”. It aims to ensure that pupils know and understand “how Britain has influenced and been influenced by the wider world”.</p><p> </p><p>The English programme of study for secondary schools sets out that pupils should read a wide range of high-quality, challenging, classic literature and extended literary non-fiction, such as essays, reviews and journalism.</p><p> </p><p>The citizenship programme of study requires pupils to be taught about human rights and the “diverse national, regional, religious and ethnic identities in the United Kingdom and the need for mutual respect and understanding”.</p><p> </p><p>Although the content of the school curriculum is excluded from the Equality Act 2010, the way in which a school provides education, the delivery of the curriculum, is explicitly included. Thus, as set out in departmental advice to schools, they are free to include a full range of issues, ideas and materials in their syllabus, and to introduce pupils to thoughts and ideas of all kinds, however challenging or controversial. Schools are still required, however, to ensure that the way in which issues are taught does not subject individual pupils to discrimination.</p> answering member constituency Bognor Regis and Littlehampton answering member printed Nick Gibb question first answered 25/03/2019 17:44:32 answering member 111 label Biography information for Nick Gibb
