Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how Oak National Academy intends to license materials for use in Oak resources; and whether the Oak National Academy has approached (a) the Copyright Licensing Agency and (b) other organisations that are responsible for licensing the use of materials within education resources.

Oak National Academy is currently reviewing the best approach to licensing materials. Oak has conducted the recent procurement for the development of its first tranche of curriculum materials, on terms up to and including an Open Government Licence. The exact licence under which Oak’s new curriculum and resources will be shared will be confirmed before their publication.

As part of its review, Oak is engaging with the Copyright Licensing Agency and a range of organisations and publishers responsible for licensing content.
