Reforming the School Curriculum and Assessment in England to Match the Best in the World--A Cautionary Tale
Steers, John
International Journal of Art & Design Education, v33 n1 p6-18 Feb 2014
This article traces the development of a new National Curriculum in England following the general election of 2010. The prevailing political ideology of an approach based on securing "core knowledge" in a limited range of preferred "academic" subjects and its deleterious impact on the arts in schools is described. The vigorous debate accompanying these "reforms" is summarised.
