New Plan for National Parks gives every schoolchild a chance to visit
24 March 2016
The Government’s new Plan for National Parks kickstarts a programme of activity to safeguard the future of these iconic landscapes. Every schoolchild in England will have the chance to visit our inspiring National Parks at each stage of their education under plans announced today by Environment Secretary Elizabeth Truss – as new figures reveal only 10% of schoolchildren currently have access to outdoor learning. The new Plan for National Parks kickstarts a programme of activity to safeguard the future of these iconic landscapes, including by engaging young people throughout their education: - From primary school, bringing more than 80,000 young people to visit National Parks and putting National Parks in the curriculum
- At secondary school, doubling the number of youth volunteers in National Parks as part of the National Citizen Service
- In their first steps to employment, developing a new apprenticeship standard and doubling apprenticeships in National Parks by 2020
