Question to the Department for Education:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what steps she has taken to raise awareness of the Fairtrade movement in schools.
Answered by Nick Gibb
Awareness of the Fairtrade movement can be covered in Citizenship or as part of Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education. Schools are free to decide what to include in their PSHE programmes and should tailor the content of PSHE lessons to take account of the needs and interests of their pupils.
