UK government-commissioned review recommends stronger political impartiality guidance for schools to address antisemitism
A review commissioned in March by the UK Department for Education and led by Sir David Bell examined antisemitism in schools and colleges in England, finding that three in five Jewish students reported being targeted. The review issued 27 recommendations, including stronger guidance on political impartiality, amid reports of teachers wearing pro-Palestinian badges such as the watermelon symbol. No blanket ban on such badges currently exists.
