Sexually-transmitted Diseases

Andrew Rosindell: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what steps the Government are taking to raise awareness of sexually-transmitted diseases in schools. [2954]

Maria Eagle: The Department's Sex and Relationship Education (SRE) guidance requires schools to teach about sexual health and sexually transmitted infections. Through SRE, pupils learn about sexual health and are helped to clarify their knowledge of sexually transmitted infections in order that they can negotiate safer sex and understand what is risky behaviour and what is not. Pupils should be made aware of how sexually transmitted infections can be prevented, diagnosed and treated and the range of support services available.

Specialist Schools

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will make a statement on the progress of schools in acquiring specialist school status. [4091]

Jacqui Smith: To date, about 69 per cent. of all maintained secondary schools are designated as specialist schools (2,176 schools, including 24 special schools). We expect about 80 per cent. of all maintained secondary schools to be specialist by September 2006. As set out in the Five Year Strategy for Children and Learners, published in July last year, we intend that every school which is up to standard should be a specialist school.

Mr. Hoban: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills when she expects schools to take on a second specialism; and when she expects (a) to bring forward legislation and (b) to issue guidance on this. [4092]

Jacqui Smith: In the Five Year Strategy for Children and Learners, published in July last year, we set out our proposals for high performing specialist schools to be able to take on leading roles. There are currently 69 specialist schools with a second specialism. Legislation is not required as specialist school designation is not a statutory requirement. Details about further opportunities for specialist schools to take on a second specialism will be published in due course.
