Written question WQ97662

Through the Curriculum for Wales, schools are required to support learners to critically review the ways world events and experiences are perceived, interpreted and represented.

Our statutory guidance makes clear that learning must be pluralistic. This means that teaching should be factual, present multiple viewpoints where values or interpretations are involved and avoid bias, ensuring accuracy in all content.

Our school leaders and practitioners are committed to create welcoming environments where the rights of all are respected. To support this ongoing work, my officials wrote to the Association of Directors of Education Wales in September to highlight appropriate Welsh Government guidance and resources to which school leaders and practitioners can refer.
