Dame Sara Khan said teachers were steering clear of controversial issues because of fears of intimidation and harassment.
Schools in England are running the risk of “fuelling anger, hate and polarisation” by avoiding debate about the Israel-Gaza conflict, according to the Government’s independent adviser on social cohesion.
Delegates at the National Education Union annual conference in Bournemouth next week will debate whether the union should publish and circulate educational resources to “increase understanding of Palestine and Israel”. The comments come days after the publication of Dame Sara’s review into threats to social cohesion, which said there was not enough guidance on teaching controversial issues.
