FEEDBACK ON THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM

Grammar, phonics and a bigger role for history are some of the key features of the National School Curriculum which will be taught to primary and secondary students from next year. Public consultation on the draft curriculum closes on May 23, with revision expected to take place in August. Teachers are worried the curriculum is being rushed in, while others hold concerns over content. What do you think about it?
