Don’t you think it’s strange that we teach our children the science of physical health, but not the science of mental health? @teachmhscience is calling for the UK Government to include the science of #mentalhealth in the National Science Curriculum. educatemagazine.com/national-curri…
This year has shown how important it is for pupils to be aware of mental health. On #ResultsWeek, we're asking @GOVUK to include the science of #mentalhealth as part of the national science curriculum, up to and including #GCSEs. Get @EY_UKI report ⬇️ teachmentalhealthscience.uk/research
Congrats to all receiving their #GCSEResults today! The pandemic has shown it's vital for pupils to be supported with their #mentalhealth. It's why we're campaigning for mental health science to be taught as part of the national science curriculum. ➡️bit.ly/2VGlEQV
The UK school curriculum is totally silent on mental health. While we teach young people about anatomy, the cardiovascular system and disease, there is no standardised teaching on how our brains, experiences and society contribute to #mentalhealth. We want to change this.
A study by @NatCen has found that children experiencing poor #mentalhealth while at secondary school are three times more likely not to pass five GCSEs including maths and English. Read more about why #mentalhealth in school matters➡️inews.co.uk/news/education… #edutwitter #edchat
Our call, to teach #mentalhealth as part of #GCSE science, is backed by a growing coalition of experts - like @EY_UKI and @CambridgePfE - from the #education and mental health sectors as well as young people, parents and teachers. #edutwitter #teaching #edchat #schools
Research shows there is overwhelming support for our proposal in the general public and the teaching profession. Respondents in a study by @EY_UKI believe that education which is both relatable and based in scientific evidence will significantly benefit young people. #edchat
We want to see #mentalhealth put on par with physical health in the curriculum so it’s taught to everyone to a high, consistent standard. This is good for science education, and it’s good for young people as they learn, grow and participate in wider society. #edutwitter
The pandemic has had a profound impact on younger people. Research conducted by @purpose_union found that 7 in 10 cite mental health as a significant generational challenge. As more youth experience issues with mental health, there needs to be more done to teach them about it.
Teacher Jonathan discusses why he’d like GCSE #mentalhealth to be on the curriculum, stating “We currently have a large focus on physical health” Get the research developed by @EY_UKI: teachmentalhealthscience.uk/research #edutwitter #edchat
.@EY_UKI’s research shows that putting #mentalhealth on the secondary school curriculum is championed by many students and teachers. teachmentalhealthscience.uk/change #edutwitter #education
#MentalHealth campaigner Kristian Radcliffe shares his views on why mental health science should be taught as part of #GCSE science. “1 in 5 students will be affected by depression or anxiety”. Learn more about the campaign, and how to support here: teachmentalhealthscience.uk/change
Mental Health campaigner @_NatashaDevon MBE, and author of "Yes You Can" says we need to help young people look after their #mentalhealth while taking exams. Hear Natasha speak about why she'd like a Mental Health module included in GCSE Science! #education #edutwitter
The teachers in our study are convinced that teaching #mentalhealth to secondary school students in a standardised way would lead to better mental health throughout their life. ➡️teachmentalhealthscience.uk/change #education #school #edutwitter
Teacher Natasha talks about why she’d like GCSE #mentalhealth to be on the curriculum, stating “Our role as science teachers is to build curious, inquisitive, thoughtful scientists for the future.” Support the campaign: teachmentalhealthscience.uk/support #edutwitter #education
Teachers have backed our campaign to amend the school curriculum to include more on mental health. Hear Natalija discuss why she believes we should #TeachMentalHealthScience. teachmentalhealthscience.uk/support #edutwitter #education
Reuben Moore, Head of Programmes, @TeachFirst, says that the science curriculum needs to better prepare young people for adult life. Want to know more about why we're asking for #mentalhealth science to be taught in schools? ➡️teachmentalhealthscience.uk/change #mentalhealthAwareness
Our campaign supporter Tari Fundira @tfunds98 says that the lack of #mentalhealth science being taught in schools “will affect society and generations to come”. You can support the #TeachMentalHealthScience campaign, here: teachmentalhealthscience.uk/support #edutwitter #education
