Digital competenceWays in which parents can help:
- Learning from real-life experiences is central to personal and social development. PSE sessions help learners to access balanced factual information from a range of sources, and enable them to become more aware of alternative viewpoints. PSE provides excellent opportunities for learners to discuss local and global contemporary issues.
- Assist pupils with their revision for tests and exams.
- Don’t reinforce any prejudices they may have about religion and encourage open minds.
