Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with her Scottish counterpart on ensuring the sustainability of high-quality chemistry teaching.

My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education, has not had any discussions with her Scottish counterpart specifically regarding supporting teaching in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) subjects. However, Ministers have had valuable discussions at four nations meetings and officials maintain contact around issues of mutual interest, including STEM education.
