Sir Jim Rose, as reported by the BBC Subjects torn up in school review has been asked by the U.K. Government to carry out a detailed review of what is taught in primary schools.
Happily for those in the computer business he has concluded that the answer is more technology.
Not sure whether it is good news for Primary School teachers who will have to combine the need for more emphasis on play with the need for teaching youngsters how to use the internet for "research", word-processing and the production of podcasts. It's certainly not good news for teachers in secondary or tertiary education who will have to increase the element of remedial teaching as pupils with an overview of understanding, limited knowledge of the basics but great computer gaming skills move through the educational system.
