Paragraph: 71
Evaluate Citizenship provision within Ofsted's quality of education key judgement, alongside personal development.
Recommendation
Ofsted’s inadequate evaluation of financial education in schools undermines the importance of financial education and adversely affects how it is viewed and prioritised by teachers and school leaders. Citizenship in particular is not being appropriately assessed by Ofsted. Inspection under the personal development judgement alone is not the right accountability measure for a subject as important 28 Delivering effective financial education as citizenship and the financial education content it includes. Citizenship should be evaluated by Ofsted as part of its quality of education key judgement in addition to personal development.
