Welsh Govt: Time to debate 'ambitious' curriculum ideas

The Welsh Government has said it will now launch a 'Great Debate' to engage with the people of Wales on the curriculum review, before announcing whether to push ahead with its proposals.

Professor Donaldson sets out a compelling, exciting and ambitious vision for a new curriculum in Wales. The scope and scale of the changes he envisages are both fundamental and wide ranging and will take time to create and secure.

What we do know is that the sustained and active participation of educational practitioners and the wider community will be essential to building this new curriculum.

Both Professor Donaldson and I are committed to ensuring that Wales’ new curriculum is one that if fit for the 21st century and one that is built by all of us.

– Huw Lewis, Education Minister
