Teaching British values
Monday 15th May 2006 at 12:12 AM
British values could be taught in schools to better integrate Muslims into society, higher education minister Bill Rammell has said.
In a speech at South Bank University Rammell was expected to announce a six-month review into how secondary school pupils can be given a stronger sense of British identity through citizenship classes.
"The vibrant, diverse communities we have in Britain are a cause for celebration. But that is no barrier to developing a stronger sense of understanding, purpose and values in Britain," he is set to say.
"We need to embed greater understanding of our values and what our society expects from all its citizens."
