fakeman_pretendname, I’m sure they could do without the overhauls every few years, but this one’s important. Gove’s removal of “learning around a subject to understand a subject” and replacing it with “memorise and repeat a list of things you’re told are correct, without thinking about them” was bad for pupils, bad for teachers and bad for the future of the country.
Jho, I’m sure they could do without the overhauls every few years, but this one’s important.
Agreed.
Overhauling shouldn’t be taken lightly, it has a negative effect on the students who have to adapt to these changes suddenly (whilst sitting exams which can/will affect the future course of their lives).
But this past decade of overhauls has absolutely put secondary education in a worse state than it was in before. This needs to be corrected.
Pre-2013 secondary education already had a big issue with “just memorise it” in my experience of doing exams back then, to hear it’s only gotten even worse the past few years is very distressing.
