Gillian Keegan has been accused of putting teachers “on the collective naughty step” after she announced that parents must be allowed to see what sex education lessons their children are getting.
Appearing on BBC Breakfast, he said: “Are we being put on the collective naughty step by the nation’s deputy head girl? Is that what it’s about? “Or is this essentially throwing some red meat into the Tory backbenches and an education secretary saying ‘look at me I am doing things, really, I am doing things’.”It is the second letter the education secretary has sent to schools on the issue, amid claims by some Tories that children are being exposed to inappropriate material during relationships, sex and health education at school.
