Religious education —All state schools in England and Wales must provide religious education, each LEA being responsible for producing a locally agreed syllabus. Syllabuses must reflect Christianity while taking account of the other main religions practised in the UK. Parents have the right to withdraw their children from religious education classes.
Sex education —State secondary schools are required to provide sex education for all pupils, including education about HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases. Parents are entitled to withdraw their children from sex education classes other than those required by the National Curriculum. All state schools must provide information to parents about the content of their sex education courses.
In September 1998 the Government marked the hunch of the National Year of Reading (a campaign to improve the literacy skills of children and adults) with the provision of £24 million for maintained primary and secondary schools in England to spend on reading books in the 1998-99 academic year. Schools with more than 100 pupils will each receive £1,000; smaller schools will receive £10 per pupil.
Literacy and numeracy —The Government has set targets to improve literacy and numeracy for 11 year olds in England in order to provide them with a more satisfactory preparation for secondary education. By 2002, the targets are for 80% of 11 year olds to reach the standards for their age in English and 75% in maths.
