To: I am petitioning to the Barnsley council and the MP's in our local authority and to the many schools in Barnsley
A curriculum to prepare us all for life?
schools:
1. i would like them to download and fill our the review your school pack and then hand it in to the school council/youth council- which will then pass them on to me
2. Get student to sign the education pledge if they would like to see a difference in PSHE and Citizenship
Barnsley council:
1. i would like to bring all the hard evidence in and organise a full barnsley council meeting with them to see how they can help and support the petition
2. feedback this to the MP's in barnsley and get them to support the petition and to make this campaign aware through the uk
Why is this important?
We believe that the place of citizenship education and PSHE in the curriculum should be radically overhauled through a youth-led UK-wide review; they are really important for young people’s growth and development as they teach vital life skills and can be the first steps to engaging young people in political life. Teaching staff should be specifically trained to a national standard to deliver citizenship education following this review.
A curriculum to prepare us for life is important to the many young people in the united Kingdom, during the UKYP national debate at the house of commons this came in as the top 5 priority to deal with and as a DMYP i will make sure that there education prepares them for life hence the title 'curriculum to prepare us for life' this will hopefully if successful allow students to gain access to an education that will include things such as:
• Political Education
• Sex and Relationships Education
• Cultural Awareness Education
• Community Cohesion Education
• Finance Skills Education
• Sustainable Living Education
• Citizenship Education
