    "I think the curriculum needs changing - do you?"

    No.

    It certainly does not need 'changing', a curriculum is not a suit of clothes. There is not one for rain and one for shine.

    What a curriculum needs is care and attention, a curriculum absolutely needs evolution not revolution.

    As WB Yeats said:Education is lighting a fire, not filling a bucket.

    What I have read today of the words of MG, that children are to be readied for the future, (or some such tripe), is anything but worthwhile. He advocates that we 'teach' children to be the answer to yesterday's question. Which is entirely the wrong way to go.
    This education secretary does not seem to have the slightest clue about any aspect of human development, child development, brain development. As if a (questionable) proficiency in delivering sound-bites is something worthwhile for anybody to aspire to.
