The UK government plans to improve Holocaust education in schools after a review revealed significant antisemitism in society. Education Secretary Lucy Powell announced that schools will treat antisemitism as a distinct safeguarding issue, requiring specific actions to combat it. The review's 27 recommendations include teacher training and better incident reporting.
Powell emphasized the need for a generational shift in understanding antisemitism, particularly among young people. The government will also encourage schools to adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition of antisemitism, which has sparked some debate.
