Citizenship: Hemsworth

Jon Trickett
To ask the Secretary of State for Children, Schools and Families how many young people in Hemsworth constituency have received lessons on citizenship since that subject was made part of the national curriculum.

Ms Diana R. Johnson
Citizenship is a part of the national curriculum which is compulsory for all pupils registered at maintained secondary schools. We do not collect data on the delivery of any curriculum subject and therefore cannot say how many young people have received lessons on citizenship in Hemsworth since it became a compulsory subject in 2002.
