Labour’s curriculum review: what can we learn from Scotland?

#ScottishUnionForEducation #CurriculumDebate #WokeSchools When it comes to the curriculum should Scotland be a cautionary tale, rather than a model? The Scottish Union for Education (SUE) was formed to mobilise opposition to the increasing politicisation of Scotland’s schools and to challenge indoctrination in education. In this session, campaigners offer insights into the dangers of any contemporary curriculum reform. To find out more and support their campaign visit https://scottishunionforeducation.sub... The fact that Scotland’s curriculum is not based on a solid and agreed body of knowledge and understanding has made it particularly vulnerable to politicisation. So, for example, following the recent riots, government advisers have demanded that anti-racism should be embedded into all subject areas. This follows on from initiatives to ‘queer’ many aspects of the curriculum. Across Scotland, parents, grandparents and teachers have become increasingly concerned about a growing trend to use inappropriate and sexually explicit material in the classroom. On investigation, it has become clear that this ’sex education’ is not the outcome of maverick activists, but conforms to government policy and guidance. Similarly, the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS) has set out new professional criteria for teachers, which demands that teachers and schools adopt ‘social justice’ as their central ethos.
