There's a cuffufle in the news today with a report from Cambridge University-led Primary Review. Too much on literacy and numeracy and too much teaching to the tests in primaries. By the time they're 14, they're switched off from the joy of learning.
The Guardian has picked on underfunding: Underfunded primary schools fail to teach basic literacy, says key review: "Although more money has been spent on education since 1997 than at any other period in history, primary schools receive only 80% of the funding given to secondaries. In comparison, some Scandinavian countries, which have far better literacy rates, allocate more than 100%. Spending varies wildly across the country: in Northumberland primary school budgets are 94% of the secondary school budget a pupil, while in Middlesbrough it is 66%." The BBC gets comments from everybody. A state theory of learning. Tests seemingly take priority while other subjects or teaching around a subject take a back seat.

Girls 'more skilled on computers': "By the age of seven, nearly three quarters (73%) could use search engines and well over half (62%) were able to edit documents, the research found,
It also showed the level of skills among teenagers meant 70% could confidently create a social networking profile, 59% could download music and more than a third (35%) were able to edit and manipulate photography." Esme, my 9 year old daughter, can easily create Word documents. She learnt this at school. I think the next thing will be for me to teacher her more Photoshop! |
