The recommendations come after reports of antisemitic incidents reached a record high in the UK last year

Schools in the UK should teach about antisemitism as part of a wider drive to tackle anti-Jewish hatred, a report from a government adviser says.

"Government should act on this recommendation, involving teachers in the work," said Mary Bousted, the joint head of the union.
