Curriculum changes will lead to children learning less

Michael Gove has warned that Labour’s plans to change the primary curriculum away from traditional subject areas will lead to a further erosion of school standards.

The Shadow Children’s Secretary said, “The Government’s changes to the primary curriculum will lead to children learning less not more.”

And he stressed that the top schools around the world teach children hard subject knowledge rather than soft ‘topics’:

“In adopting this throwback to the 1960s, the Government is denying the highest quality of education to children in the state sector.”

Michael condemned Labour for taking a step backwards when it comes to the education of our children:

“The experiment with this kind of ideology – moving away from facts, knowledge and rigour – failed forty years ago and will fail again.”
