HC Deb 22 July 1991 vol 195 c351W
Mrs. Dunwoody

To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Science what is Her Majesty's Government's policy towards the provision in secondary schools and sixth form colleges of compulsory courses on the effects of leaving home to go into further education.

Mr. Fallon

Section 1 of the Education Reform Act 1988 requires that the curriculum of every maintained school shall prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life. It is for individual schools to decide how this requirement should be fulfilled.
