Ministers comment on new healthy lifestyle lessons for youngsters

All pupils in state schools will now receive high quality lessons in everything from first aid and personal finance to relationships and the consequences of drugs misuse as Schools Ministers announced that Personal Social and Health Education (PSHE) will become a compulsory part of the curriculum from Key Stage 1 to 4 (ages 5 to 16).

The announcement comes in response to the principal findings of both the Review of Sex and Relationships Education (SRE) in Schools and the report by the Advisory Group on Drug and Alcohol Education, which both recommended that good PSHE was vital to providing a healthy, rounded education.

Jim Knight said:

"This is a bold move and a necessary one. Modern life is increasingly complex and we have a duty to equip our young people with the knowledge and skills to deal with it. It's vital that this information doesn't come from playground rumour or the mixed messages from the media about sex. We need structured classroom teaching, set within a clear understanding of right and wrong that emphasises the importance of family relationships.

"Parents bring up children, not schools or Governments, but schools can help guide them through the maze of issues and prepare them for the difficult transition from childhood through to adulthood. We will ensure there is flexibility for schools to tailor lessons to reflect the values and beliefs of the parents and communities they serve.

"Schools already teach PSHE, but it's clear especially from the feedback we have from young people that teaching is patchy. In order to improve that we need to secure a place in the curriculum, renew guidance and increase teacher training, making sure schools have the resources they need."

Children's Minister Baroness Delyth Morgan said:

"This action fits with our vision of the 21st Century School, which provide a rounded education for children and Ofsted's intention to create wellbeing indicators, which will be included in the School Report Cards we announced last week.
"Ultimately this will help the drive to reduce teenage pregnancy, STIs, drug abuse and binge drinking as well as equipping young people with a range of essential life skills."
