@newscoolfm: 📚🗣️Education Minister launches plans to revamp what's taught in NI schools from 2028: "The current curriculum isn't effective." 🎤🎥 Education Minister Paul Givan speaking to our reporter Rory McKee at the launch of a proposed new school curriculum for Northern Ireland. It's due to start being taught in schools from September 2028 and includes a new subject of digital technology. 💬Teachers, parents, pupils and stakeholders are being invited to respond to a consultation on the new curriculum, which runs until September 30. The Minister says the current curriculum - introduced in 2007 - is "vague" and "frustrates teachers," adding that the proposals aim to "close the attainment gap" and benefit "in particular those who come from more disadvantaged backgrounds."

Mr Givan have you actually looked at the Maths Transform ed. The KS2 is teaching kids topics to the level of GCSE grade C. Complete madness!
