At the end of November 2024, the BSA responded to the UK Government’s National Curriculum and Assessment Review Call for Evidence.
Currently, Sociology is not on the National Curriculum whereas, for example, Citizenship is.
As the national subject association for Sociology, we chose to focus our response to the Review on including Sociology in the National Curriculum.
Read the BSA’s response here.
Following on from the work behind the Review response, we’re considering our future plans to support sociology in schools and we’re keen to hear from you.
Are you:
- Interested in directly supporting a dedicated campaign for promoting Sociology in schools?
- Interested in joining a working group to develop new support materials to give to speakers who go into schools to promote Sociology?
- Willing to go into your local schools to talk about Sociology and its value for life and work skills?
Is there something else specifically that you think we could be doing to support Sociology in schools? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, we’d love to hear from you.
Please contact judith.mudd@britsoc.org.uk by 8 January.
Your answers will really help us to develop our plans relating to schools.
