Education Minister confirms curriculum overhaul
The Education Minister has confirmed that Wales will press ahead with plans to overhaul the school curriculum here.
Proposals include making digital skills a priority, giving teachers more freedom, and making smoother transitions between subjects and year groups.
Huw Lewis told Assembly Members this afternoon he will accept the recommendations from Prof Graham Donaldson's report in full.
He announced a search for pioneer schools who will help shape the new curriculum, and an Independent Advisory Group that will oversee progress.
