Dan Jarvis – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education
The below Parliamentary question was asked by Dan Jarvis on 2014-06-17.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if he will estimate the cost of sending a copy of the Magna Carta to every school.
Elizabeth Truss
Magna Carta and the emergence of Parliament are included within the new history curriculum, to be taught in maintained secondary schools from September 2014.
To support teachers to commemorate the 800th anniversary, a range of projects and resources are being provided by Parliament and others for primary and secondary school pupils.
We have no plans to send a copy of the Magna Carta to every school and therefore have not made an estimate of what this might cost.
