MINISTER for education Kirsty Williams is introducing yet another reform to the education provision for our children.
In future schools in Wales are to have teachers who are educated to higher standards than some of the present teachers actually working in our schools.
The curriculum is to be changed as presumably the present one is not fit for purpose?
I dare say the former will give a great confidence boost to the dedicated and hardworking teaching staff in the position of being “under qualified” for the job they are doing, even if they are getting good results? (Not) Perhaps the NUT could have a word in Kirsty Williams’ ear and explain the meaning of sensitivity and empathy?
I look forward to the “new” curriculum. It’s good to learn that my daughter has been taught a “sub-standard” one for the last three years.
Hopefully the “new” curriculum promoted by Kirsty Williams and her “experts” from the font of knowledge (the Senedd) will introduce a child centred education which is self-directed, transformative, which embraces children’s innate creativity and curiosity?
Anything will be better than SATs, exam orientated curriculum which regards children as well trained parrots whose only skills-set is the ability to regurgitate facts and take orders such is the imposed operant conditioning.
