Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, pursuant to the Answer of 28 September to Question 51615 on Oak National Academy: Finance and with reference to the advertising campaign for Oak National Academy Twitter, (a) how much money from the public purse is being spent on that advertising campaign, (b) when that campaign commenced and (c) how long that campaign will continue for.

Oak National Academy will continue to work with teachers across the country, giving them and their pupils access to high-quality digital curriculum resources which are free, optional, and adaptable. These optional resources will be available across the UK, helping teachers deliver a high-quality curriculum.

Part of Oak National Academy’s remit is to support teachers and schools to understand and make best use of the resources they make available. One of the ways it does this is through targeted promotion towards teachers, including via Twitter. This is ongoing activity, and from 1 September is funded through Oak National Academy’s overall budget.
