Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail (i) the number of curriculum taskforce working groups which have been set up; including (ii) their membership; and (iii) the chairs, of each group.

Answer:

The Curriculum Taskforce has established thirteen subject working groups to support curriculum reform.

Membership of these groups is still being finalised and remains fluid as work progresses, and any gaps are identified. The groups consist largely of practising teachers who participate voluntarily, supported by lead drafters and members of the Curriculum Taskforce Advisory Committee.

In line with the requirements of the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), it would not be appropriate to provide lists of memberships, as this would involve the disclosure of personal data.
