An article discussing experts in English Maths, and a range of Sciences pointing out errors in the new curriculum drafted for primary schools.
I found it surprising that certain facts are so prescribed - such as number of stars in the Milky Way. Not sure how surprised I am that the gov't got that vastly wrong.
This article filled me questions. Do teachers really need this? Do we need to bring in more experts into these things at an earlier stage -- wouldn't they be better at it than politicians? I've seen some great educational resources written be people in these areas - particularly for science and history - but they seem to be ridden over by politicians. Should the curriculum be taken out of the hands of politicians?
