Curriculum changes

The act establishes new curriculum requirements for all learners aged 3 to 16 in maintained or funded non-maintained schools, nursery education and other forms of education. [1] The new curriculum is designed to include more emphasis on skills and experiences as well as knowledge. The curriculum groups education into six "Areas of Learning and Experience", with the intention of helping teachers draw links between subjects and teach topics in a broad way, though traditional subjects will still be taught. [2] Within a basic framework of goals and learning areas, it give schools freedom to develop their own curriculum to suit the needs of their pupils. [3] Other changes include a greater emphasis on the history of Wales and ethnic minority groups, which reports by Estyn in previous years suggested had often been poor, along with the removal of parents' right to take their children out of sex education classes.
