National Curriculum: national disaster?
- London RoutledgeFalmer 2000
- xix, 236p.
Examines the way in which the infrastructure of school codes of conduct, the physical environment of school sites and the hierarchy of human resources within schools have an effect on the aims and reality of the National Curriculum. The National Curriculum aims to promote the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at school and of society, and to prepare pupils for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of adult life, which are also the aims of the Education Reform Act. Includes an alternative skills-based educational programme and recommendations for how a process might be started to cause positive change from a knowledge-based to a critically reflective curriculum.
