The Coalition Government and Holocaust education

December 16, 2010 19:05

It's also good news that Schools Minister Nick Gibb has re-affirmed the Government's commitment to keeping Holocaust education on the national curriculm for schools in England (http://www.thejc.com/news/uk-news/42694/shoah-teaching-will-stay). As Nick Clegg said in November:

"We meet on the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the horrific Night of Broken Glass. It is sobering to reflect on anniversaries such as this, which must never be forgotten.

"That is why the Coalition has maintained the last Government’s commitment to fund the Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) to take two students from every secondary school and FE college in England every year to see Auschwitz for themselves. I applaud the HET for this vital work and I am proud to be Deputy Prime Minister in a government that funds it."
