Citizenship teachers in decline
The amount of new citizenship teachers in England has fallen since 2010, new figures show.
Data released by schools minister Nick Gibb shows that just 54 citizenship teachers have been trained this year, in comparison to the 112 in 2014-15.
Numbers were also higher in 2010-11, with 243 citizenship teachers receiving training.
The subject, which is part of the national curriculum at key stages three and four, has to be taught in schools maintained by the local authority, and academies are an exception to this.
However, ministers are planning an expansion of the government’s National Citizen Service, which allows pupils between the ages of 16 and 17 to go on residential trips and take part in voluntary work, but it is not designed to replace proper citizenship teaching.
