Many disadvantaged pupils are missing out on the opportunity to study economics.
Whether a student can study a subject should not be determined by their background, where they live, or the school they attend.

I fully support @resmedia.bsky.social @discoverecon.bsky.social response to the DfE Curriculum and Assessment Review. Basic economic literacy should be part of the national curriculum. It is essential for democratic participation and to ensure that children are given the best start in life.
