<p>The department wants all children to leave school with the knowledge, skills, and
values that will enable them to understand the world around them and prepare them
to be active and responsible citizens in modern Britain. This could include activities
focusing on the role of the armed forces and learning from the experiences of veterans.</p><p>It
is important for schools to have flexibility over the design of their curriculum to
ensure that it meets the needs of their pupils and the local context. Schools are
able to use this flexibility to include a veterans awareness day or to teach about
British veterans and the armed forces through subjects within the national curriculum,
such as citizenship, history or English literature, or as part of wider remembrance
activities.</p>
