Now that’s a statement nobody would believe.
In a recent discovery of a new education proposal, children in Britain will no longer be forced to study the World War II and the Victorian ages, instead those parts of history will be replaced with compulsory studies of Twitter, Wikipedia and Blogging after a document was uncovered by The Guardian.
This is only part of a massive curriculum overhaul that’s taking the focus of teaching back to catering for a more modern and flexible approach. This knowledge (which the pupils will be taught and learned up to the age of 11) is designed to adequately prepare children for a modernized and constantly-changing world.
If the proposal is approved, one of the requirements would be the following:
- Children to leave primary school familiar with blogging, podcasts, Wikipedia and Twitter as sources of information and forms of communication. They must gain “fluency” in handwriting and keyboard skills, and learn how to use a spellchecker alongside how to spell.
There is both strong criticism, and strong support for the proposal, and nobody is quite sure what to expect.
