National Curriculum Review!

The new national curriculum review for England's schools promises "rigour, fairness and freedom"... 
It also promises an end to exhaustive prescription and bloated documentation, and a return to the national curriculum's initial purpose: a statement of children's minimum entitlement to core knowledge in a few essential subjects, which leaves teachers free to decide how these should be taught and what else should be included. Robin Alexander headed the Cambridge Review; the biggest review of primary education for decades and in the Guardian today he argues for schools to teach a richly rounded curriculum. You can read his article at www.guardian.co.uk/education/2011/mar/15/national-curriculum-ministerial-meddling.
