star this property answer text <p>Antisemitism, intimidation, and threats of violence must never be tolerated on university campuses. The Community Security Trust 2023 annual report highlights the unprecedented increase in antisemitic incidents in higher education (HE). This unacceptable rise is deeply concerning. All antisemitism is abhorrent, and universities should have robust systems to deal with incidents of support for unlawful antisemitic abuse and harassment. The department will not tolerate unlawful harassment or the glorification of terrorism.</p><p>Ever since the October 7 attacks, the department has actively intervened to ensure that universities, including those located in the South East, act swiftly and appropriately to deal with incidents of antisemitism. I have reached out to many Vice Chancellors personally when a concern has been raised about antisemitism on their campus.</p><p>Furthermore, my right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, and I wrote to all universities on 11 October 2023, urging them to respond swiftly to hate-related incidents and to actively reassure Jewish students that they can study without fear of harassment or intimidation. I wrote again to Vice Chancellors on 16 November 2023, emphasising that they must use disciplinary measures wherever appropriate, highlighting the importance of police engagement, and reiterating that student visas could be suspended where a foreign national is found to have committed or incited acts of racial hatred. This was one of the key actions set out in the five point plan for tackling antisemitism in HE, which was published on 5 November 2023. The plan also involves:</p><ul><li>Calling for visas to be withdrawn from international students who incite racial hatred. Visas are a privilege, not a right, and the government won’t hesitate to remove them from people who abuse them.</li><li>Logging specific cases and sharing them with the Office for Students for their consideration.</li><li>Continuing to make it clear in all discussions that acts that may be criminal should be referred to the police.</li><li>Establishing a Tackling Antisemitism Quality Seal, which will be an award available to universities who can demonstrate the highest standards in tackling antisemitism.</li></ul><p> </p><p>On 22 November, the government announced in the Autumn Statement an additional £7 million over three years to tackle antisemitism in education. The Quality Seal will be the cornerstone of this package for universities, providing a framework of measures that will make clear what good practice is in tackling antisemitism in HE, and making sure that our universities are a safe and welcoming space for Jewish students and staff, as for all students and staff.</p><p>The department will not hesitate to take further action across education to stamp out antisemitism and harassment of Jewish pupils, students and staff.</p>

star this property answer text <p>Physical education (PE) is a compulsory subject within the national curriculum from key stage 1 to key stage 4. It is for schools to decide which sports to choose for pupils both in PE and during extracurricular opportunities. The national curriculum does not specify what schools should provide, but rugby is included as an example of a sport that can provide important elements of the PE and Sport national curriculum programme of study in key stage 3 and 4.</p><p>Where schools want to provide specific sports, they can draw on support from the relevant national governing body. The Rugby Football Union (RFU) offers a wide range of resources and age appropriate guidance and advice for delivering rugby to primary and secondary age pupils. The RFU has been conducting a review into the future of rugby in schools, and the department looks forward to seeing the outcomes of this work and engaging with them accordingly.</p><p>On 8 March 2023, the department announced over £600 million in funding for the primary PE and sport premium in the 2023/24 and 2024/25 academic years, and up to £57 million up to March 2025 for the ‘Opening School Facilities’ programme. Schools can use this funding to increase their sport provision such as rugby to a higher standard.</p><p> </p>

star this property answer text <p>The early years foundation stage (EYFS) statutory framework sets the standards and requirements that all early years providers must follow to ensure every child has the best start in life and is prepared for school<em>. </em>The EYFS includes an area of learning on ‘Understanding the World’, which requires settings to foster children’s understanding of our culturally, socially, technologically and ecologically diverse world. Across the early years curriculum, practitioners can teach children about wildlife and the natural environment in a range of ways, for example through books, activities and play and by visiting parks and other local areas.</p><p>At the end of the EYFS, children are assessed on their level of development, against the Early Learning Goals (ELGs). The ‘Understanding the World’ ELGs include exploring the natural world around them, making observations and drawing pictures of animals and plants, knowing some similarities and differences between the natural world around them and contrasting environments.</p>

star this property answer text <p>The government introduced the apprenticeship levy to incentivise larger businesses to develop and invest in their own apprenticeship programmes whilst ensuring the availability of funding for smaller employers wanting to offer apprenticeships. The levy has supported the government to increase investment in the apprenticeships system in England to £2.7 billion in the 2024/25 financial year and supports employers of all sizes to boost the skills of their workforces.</p><p> </p><p>Employers in England who pay the apprenticeship levy can access funds for apprenticeship training and assessment by registering for an apprenticeship service account. Since April 2021, all non-levy paying employers hiring new apprentices have accessed funds through apprenticeship service accounts.</p><p> </p><p>The table below shows the number of employer accounts on the apprenticeship service that have accessed funds for apprenticeship training and assessment in each of the last three academic years.</p><p> </p><table><tbody><tr><td><p>Academic Year</p></td><td><p>2020/21</p></td><td><p>2021/22</p></td><td><p>2022/23</p></td></tr><tr><td><p>Number of employer accounts accessing funds</p></td><td><p>64,410 *</p></td><td><p>106,786</p></td><td><p>118,516</p></td></tr></tbody></table><p> </p><p>*To note that this data does not include employers who started an apprenticeship prior to April 2021 with a training provider who held a contract with the Education and Skills Funding Agency. As non-levy paying employers started accessing funding via the Apprenticeship Service from January 2020, this means that the figure above for 2020/21 will significantly underrepresent the total number of employers accessing funding.</p>

All schools should be calm, safe and supportive environments where all pupils and staff can work in safety and are respected.</p><p>The department has an ambitious programme of work to support teachers and leaders to improve behaviour in their schools. This includes the following recently updated guidance:</p><p> </p><ul><li>The behaviour in schools guidance, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/behaviour-in-schools--2" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/behaviour-in-schools--2</a>.</li><li>The school suspension and permanent exclusion guidance, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/school-exclusion</a>.</li><li>The searching, screening and confiscation guidance, available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/searching-screening-and-confiscation" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/searching-screening-and-confiscation</a>.</li></ul><p> </p><p>These are practical tools to help schools create environments which young people want to attend.</p><p>The national professional qualification (NPQ) in leading behaviour and culture is relevant for teachers, leaders and non-teaching staff who want to develop their understanding of contemporary practice and research around promoting and supporting positive behaviour. £184 million has been invested into providing fully funded NPQs for teaching staff across the country to deliver 150,000 NPQs up until the 2023/2024 annual year.</p><p>The department is also investing £10 million through the behaviour hubs programme to support schools. 49 lead schools and ten lead multi-academy trusts work with schools that want and need to turn around their pupils’ behaviour, alongside a central offer of support and taskforce of advisers. The programme will support up to 700 partner schools during the three years it is scheduled to run.</p><p>New non-statutory guidance will also aim to ensure that head teachers and members of staff have a clear mandate and practical advice to prohibit mobile phone use throughout the school day. The guidance will also consider how schools should prohibit the use of smart technology with similar functionality to mobile phones. This will help to foster an environment that is conducive to teaching and learning.</p><p>The national behaviour survey runs termly to track experiences and perceptions of pupil behaviour in schools. The most recent data available is for the 2021/2022 academic year, and is available at: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-behaviour-survey-reports" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-behaviour-survey-reports</a>.</p>
