#curriculum-reform

My own sleepless thoughts on why the future of learning must go beyond crash tutorials and tackle ethics, accessibility, and human-centered design. It's 3:47 AM. I should be asleep. Instead, I'm lying here, staring at the ceiling, replaying a single restless thought: We don't need more courses. We need better ones. Everywhere I look, someone is launching a "Learn Figma in 5 Days" crash course or a "Top 10 AI Hacks for Beginners" tutorial. And don't get me wrong - those courses aren't useless. They scratch an itch, they help you pick up a tool, and sometimes they even get you a quick win.

Much better to defer a white paper on special needs education in England than to announce plans in haste, only to be forced to withdraw them. This was the calculation behind the government's decision to put off until next year its plans for reform in a vitally important and sensitive area. Some council leaders were disappointed by the delay, such is their desperation about overspends.

Redeveloped curriculum is divided into five areas: well-being, Stem education, arts education, language, social and environmental education Primary school children will spend more time on PE, begin to learn about puberty earlier and will start learning a foreign language in fifth class as part of a new curriculum which will be phased in from next year. It will replace the 26-year-old curriculum currently in place.
