Cookery lessons back on the school menu
.............................................................
Cookery lessons are to become a compulsory part of the school curriculum for the first time after pressure from leading chefs and health campaigners.
Children as young as eight will now be taught basic cooking skills and how to make a balanced meal.
From September next year, primary school students will be given practical lessons in how to combine ingredients to produce simple, healthy food.
At secondary school, pupils will then master a number of different meals and will learn a range of cooking techniques including baking.
The proposals, made in the new draft national curriculum, have been welcomed by health experts concerned that children are growing up without basic culinary skills or food knowledge, which they say has helped to fuel the rise in childhood obesity and dietary-related diabetes.
They warn the demands of modern life have left many children living on a diet of ready meals because their parents are often too busy to cook.
