Primary School Subjects Overhaul
The BBC reports on a study that states, “A major review of the curriculum for England’s primary schools
suggests that six broad “areas of learning” could replace individual
subjects.”
The areas of learning are:
- understanding English, communication and languages
- mathematical understanding
- scientific and technological understanding
- human, social and environmental understanding
- understanding physical health and well-being
- understanding the arts and design
The report also recommends that, “the level of lessons in information, communication and
technology (ICT) currently taught in secondary schools should now be
taught to primary-age pupils.”
