Binge Drinking
Mr. Rob Wilson:
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what measures are being taken in schools to promote awareness of the health implications of binge drinking. [5401]
Jacqui Smith:
All maintained schools must provide drug education, including information about alcohol. There is scope within the frameworks for Personal Social Health Education (PSHE) and Citizenship at key stages 1 and 2, PSHE at key stages 3 and 4 and the Citizenship programme of study at key stages 3 and 4 to explore the effects of binge drinking. Alcohol education in schools has an essential role to play in enabling pupils to develop their knowledge, skills, attitudes and understanding about alcohol.
In 200405, we supported over 2,000 teachers in the PSHE certificate for teachers which sets standards in the teaching of drug and alcohol education. Up to 3,000 teachers will be supported in 200506.
Together with the Home Office and Department of Health, we are supporting a national five year research programme called Blueprint" to test the effectiveness of drug education initiatives in schools. It will make a significant contribution to developing a UK evidence base for drug, alcohol and tobacco education.

To ask the Secretary of State forEducation and Skills how many schools in each local education authority have broadband internet access. [5654]
