Lord Wills – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Education

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Lord Wills on 2016-07-18.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government in how many schools Design and Technology is not part of the curriculum.

Lord Nash

Design and Technology (D&T) is part of the national curriculum, and is therefore a compulsory subject in maintained schools for pupils aged 5 to 14. The national curriculum is a benchmark of an excellent, academically rigorous education that academies can use and improve upon. The Department does not collect information on how many schools do not include D&T as part of their curriculum.
