The Scottish Curriculum for Excellence is 'neither a curriculum nor excellent'. In this podcast I sit down with Julie Sandilands teacher, education commentator & Scottish Union for Education Board Member to elucidate what children are and are not learning through this nebulous framework. We will be part of a panel at the Festival of Ideas in London for SUE to consider how England might learn from Scotland's mistakes.
