This petition was submitted during the 2019-2024 parliament
Rejected petition Completely overhaul the primary school curriculum.
The primary curriculum neither prepares children for secondary school nor improves their ability to write well. The grammar taught is pointless and dissuades a love of writing and literature. Children and teachers are left bored and frustrated by the current content.
More details
Happier children and teachers would provide better results, more focus on creativity and critical thinking would be more fun and be a greater stepping stone to high school whilst giving children a love of learning. The jobs of the future require imagination, rote learning is redundant in a world of computers, machine learning and AI. Confidence and creativity must be fostered, as well as optimism for the future and what the children can achieve.
