§ Mr. Laurence RobertsonTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what assessment he has made of the impact of the schools pack Partners in Europe; what feedback he has received from schools and pupils; how he intends to monitor the future success of the pack in schools; and if he will make a statement. [58747]
§ Mr. MudieThe Partners in Europe pack for schools was distributed in January 1998 to all schools in the United Kingdom. No formal assessment of the impact of the pack has been made nor is any planned, as its use in schools is voluntary.
The Partners in Europe information and resource pack for schools was produced in response to requests from teachers to update materials that were already in use in the classroom. The pack takes account of existing work in schools. It was produced in conjunction with the Qualifications and Curriculum Authority and the Central Bureau for Educational Visits and Exchanges.
