In as far as data is centrally held, I refer the hon. Member to the Civil Service statistics, for the Department for Education, at: https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/civil-service-statistics<\/a> and https://www.ons.gov.uk/employmentandlabourmarket/peopleinwork/publicsectorpersonnel/datasets/civilservicestatistics<\/a>.<\/p> <\/p> The Declaration on Government Reform (2021) stated: "There is however more we must do to attract a broader range of people to the privilege of public service... It should be natural for people with careers and skills built in business to serve in government for a period, and for those in public service to spend time in organisations which are not dependent on public money... We will develop new entry routes from industry, academia, the third sector and the wider public sector, with flexibility to suit those who want to build a career in government and those who want a shorter tour of duty.\u201d<\/p> <\/p>"}

Many parents and carers regularly engage with schools as school governors, through parents\u2019 associations and through everyday contact. The department does not routinely monitor levels of parental engagement in schools, but it encourages all schools to have a strategy in place which allows the views of parents and carers to be considered.<\/p> <\/p> As part of government business, the department engages parents and carers to deliver effective policymaking, such as through consultations. The department also engages with a range of stakeholder organisations, some of whom represent parents and carers. For example, the parents, pupils and learners panel regularly surveys parents of primary and secondary school pupils and college learners (in classroom-based education). The panel provides robust, rapid-turnaround evidence to support the department in assessing the ongoing views and experiences of parents and pupils.<\/p> <\/p> Policy teams also engage with parents and carers to gather views and feedback on specific areas. For example, the special educational needs and disabilities teams work with the National Network of Parent Carer Forums, the independent national voice for parent carer forums.<\/p> <\/p> In addition, the department regularly uses its Education Hub website to communicate key updates to parents and carers. This includes popular topics, questions and answers and case studies.<\/p>"}

It encourages pupils to read a range of books, poems and plays to encourage the development of a life-long love of literature.<\/p> <\/p> It is statutory that maintained schools follow the English programmes of study. These do not set out specific reading lists. However, at secondary level, they set out categories from which schools should choose texts. Exam boards will set out a range of choices within these categories, from which schools can select texts. Those taking a GCSE in English Literature must study at least one play by Shakespeare; at least one nineteenth-century novel; a selection of poetry since 1789, including representative Romantic poetry; and fiction or drama from the British Isles from 1914 onwards. The GCSE specification encourages students to read widely within these categories, to broaden their knowledge of literature, and enhance critical and comparative understanding. Teachers have flexibility in the choice of books and plays to teach within the context of the National Curriculum.<\/p> <\/p> Schools make their own decisions on choosing texts, within the set requirements. The department provides guidance for teachers on how to make their choices of texts, with literacy organisations and reading charities offering suggestions, book lists, guidance, research and support.<\/p>"}
