The purpose of this SEG is for those responsible for and/or involved in curriculum policy development at a national level to share experiences. A new national curriculum for 11-16 yeard olds has recently been developed in England. There is a renewed emphasis on processes and skills and less specificity about content. http://curriculum.qca.org.uk/ There are implications for the primary curriculum, assessment and classroom practice. What is the situation in your country? How is the national curriculum developed? How is it then implemented?
