Education Standards must be maintained
Nicholas Henderson the KSDP Education Spokesperson has called today for common sense with regards legislation passing through the Assembly on removing the National Curriculum.
Ár Re a rival party is seeeking to remove the national curriculum, giving schools full autonomy over setting of syllabi. Mr Henderson has stated “currently there is a national curriculum in place that is advisory for schools however it sets out to create a standard of educational attainment that will allow young people to be equipped with the necessary learning, knowledge and skills to be productive members of society. The current legislation is flexible enough to allow schools to introduce learning that is not on the syllabus. This current proposal will be nothing more than detrimental to the development of our young people and I call on all parties in Kirlawa to reject it”
Presently Ár Re, The Luthoran Unionist Party and The Great Popular Party have all endorsed the current legislation whilst the Kirlawan Social Democrat Party is the solely opposed party. The Kirlawan People’s Justice Party and Green Party have yet to support either side.
Mr Henderson has made an impassioned plea to those yet to throw their weight behind the vote “ for the sake of our young people I call on the KPJP and Green Party to reject this proposal and ensure that our young people can continue to avail of the standard of learning that has benefited so many young people of past years.”
