Make British politics compulsory in the secondary school curriculum
British politics should be compulsory in secondary school to help prepare young people for the responsibility of voting in elections. The fundamentals of British politics and how to vote: we think these things which are lacking in the British education system.
Mandate yearly exams in secondary school
Mandate end-of-year exams on core subjects in secondary schools. Students who do not meet the standards should have an opportunity to resit the year in order to ensure they understand the fundamental skills for success in following years.
Introduce mandatory business and entrepreneurship in secondary curriculum
I am deeply concerned that, in 2025, we continue to deliver a national curriculum designed for the traditional career paths of the 1980s rather than the technologies and opportunities of today.
Introduce self-defence lessons into the PE curriculum in all secondary schools
I think all secondary schools should teach basic self-defence within PE lessons so that students not only have the skills to protect themselves, but the discipline to use those skills when necessary.
Make SEND awareness a mandatory part of primary school curriculum
I would like SEND awareness to become a mandatory part of primary school curriculum to help all children have a better understanding of why some children act and behave in certain ways.
