UK government revise Country Report on Holocaust education

The UK government has presented a detailed Country Report on the state of Holocaust education to the International Holocaust Remembrance Organization, correcting myths and clarifying the key issues and challenges in teaching and learning about the Holocaust in our schools.

It was able to do so because of the groundbreaking research of the IOE into Holocaust education in England's secondary schools, and due to the input of a number of other institutions working in the field.

The Report was introduced by Sir Andrew Burns, the government's Envoy for Post-Holocaust Issues and was presented by Paul Salmons, of the IOE's Holocaust education team. Download the Report and its appendices (1 and 2, 3 and 4) for a survey of the current state of Holocaust education in the United Kingdom.
