In recognition of its importance, the Holocaust is the only historic event which is compulsory within the national curriculum for history at key stage 3. The curriculum gives teachers and schools the freedom to decide how to teach the subject and what resources to use to support an understanding of the Holocaust, and the experiences of non-Jewish victims of Nazi persecution.</p><p> </p><p>The department supports school pupils’ and teachers’ understanding of the Holocaust by providing funding for several programmes. This includes £500,000 in the 2021/22 financial year for University College London’s Centre for Holocaust Education, which is match funded by the Pears Foundation, and £2.1 million in the 2021/22 financial year for the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Lessons from Auschwitz project.</p><p> </p><p>As part of Holocaust education, a wide range of resources are available to help teachers explain the Nazi persecution of different groups of people. The Lessons from Auschwitz project and the knowledge and training provided by the Centre for Holocaust Education both include information and resources to support an understanding of the Holocaust, including Nazi persecution of non-Jewish groups.</p> answering member constituency Worcester answering member printed Mr Robin Walker question first answered 03/03/2022 16:03:08 answering member 4091 label Biography information for Mr Robin Walker

Commitments may be recorded or amended on the apprenticeship service system after the training start date has passed and therefore data should be treated as provisional.</p><p>Providers may not record learners immediately on the ILR, so a lag may occur between a commitment being recorded in the apprenticeship service and the corresponding commitment being recorded as a start on the ILR.</p><p>Apprenticeship service commitments and monthly apprenticeship starts figures are published in the ‘Apprenticeship Service and monthly transparency data’ section of the apprenticeships and traineeships statistics publication, found here: <a href="https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships-and-traineeships" target="_blank">https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/apprenticeships-and-traineeships</a>.</p> answering member constituency Brentwood and Ongar answering member printed Alex Burghart question first answered 03/03/2022 15:38:47 answering member 4613 label Biography information for Alex Burghart
