Knowledge & The Curriculum
Today in such a changing society it would be impossible to have a national curriculum not reflecting such change. Living in a changing environment effects and changes what each individual in the state is expected to know. This is very much enlightened when living in a fast changing world where what was true yesterday turns to be false tomorrow. Who would ever have taught that the word "Internet" would have been mentioned in the National Minimum Curriculum in the late 80's and early 90's when it was still just a network with the aim of linking data between major Universities and in no one's vocabulary?
