A final version of the new national curriculum has
been published. This new national curriculum will focus more on technology than
the former one. They will be taught more on Internet safety and from the age of
five they will even learn how to write programs. David Cameron is an admirer of
the new curriculum as a parent. Improvements include them being taught about
climate change and the human involvement in this, more mathematics and
evolution theory will be introduced in primary schools. This national curriculum
is only applicable for schools in England but free schools will be able to
ignore this.
My opinion:
I think this is a great change. I have felt that
schools lack these kinds of improvements for some time now. Of course there are
some schools that only work with laptops nowadays, but instead of introducing
more computer related subjects they just work on them for the already existing
courses. I think it’s very important for children to learn about Internet
safety from a young age and how to deal with all these developments. Also the
introduction on several science courses and for example the climate change is a
huge step forward.
