To: Rt Hon Nicky Morgan MP, Education Secretary
Please make well-being part of our national curriculum
Please put individual, social and global wellbeing education at the centre of the curriculum in our schools - not a side note. Our children deserve to be taught how to look after their bodies and minds; and about the social and global challenges in the world today. This can only happen if the discussion takes place in parliament and there is the highest level of support.
Why is this important?
Our children are becoming increasingly unwell physically, mentally and emotionally and are in dire need of adequate education in this area.
If we want to prosper as a nation, we have to make learning about personal, social and environmental well-being as important as learning to read and write. Only healthy people can create a healthy nation and our children are the leaders and positive change-makers of tomorrow.
