Rejected petition National Anthem to be taught in schools as part of National Curriculum

More details

National Anthem to be taught as part of the National Curriculum to encourage a sense of civic pride amongst children and young people regardless of cultural or ethnic background. This would help create a sense of belonging and identity. It is becoming obscure and even footballers and Olympians don't know it.
