PBE referenced in House of Commons Hansard Pro Bono Economics' report for the PSHE Association was mentioned in the House of Commons Hansard on the 6th of February 2018, in a debate on statutory PSHE education. Teresa Pearce, Labour MP for Erith and Thamesmead, stated "A report by Pro Bono Economics in 2017 found that the provision of high-quality PSHE has a positive impact on young people’s academic attainment. Moreover, a study of 200 social and emotional skills programmes, predominantly delivered through PSHE lessons, demonstrated an 11% improvement in young people’s academic achievement. Encouragingly, evidence also showed that PSHE can have a positive impact on life chances, as it was the academic performance of the most disadvantaged children that improved by the greatest amount as the result of receiving high-quality PSHE." We are pleased to have supported the PSHE Association in advancing their aim for all pupils to recieve regular, high quality PSHE education. 7th February 2018 Manage Cookie Preferences
