Written question WQ100978

The Welsh Government is clear that antisemitism has no place in our schools or wider society. Religion, Values and Ethics is a mandatory element in the Curriculum for Wales (for learners aged 3 to 16) and provides opportunities to learn about Judaism and Jewish communities in an objective, critical and pluralistic way.

The wider Humanities Area of the Curriculum provides opportunities to consider Jewish history and culture, the Holocaust, human rights, equality and the consequences of prejudice and discrimination. The Curriculum also supports learners to develop empathy, kindness and compassion, and relationships based on mutual trust and respect.
