A revised curriculum has been implemented with effect from 2008 by the Welsh Assembly Government.
In revising the curriculum, the challenge was to establish a curriculum for the twenty-first century that meets the needs of individual learners whilst taking account of the broader needs of Wales. To help achieve this, the revised school curriculum aims to:
- focus on the learner
- ensure that appropriate skills development is woven throughout the curriculum
- offer reduced subject content with an increased focus on skills
- focus on continuity and progression 3-19, by building on the Foundation Phase and linking effectively with the 14-19 Learning Pathways programme
- be flexible
- support Government policy, including: bilingualism, Curriculum Cymreig/Wales, Europe and the World, equal opportunities, food and fitness, sustainable development and global citizenship, and the world of work and entrepreneurship
- continue to deliver a distinctive curriculum that is appropriate for Wales.
The revised curriculum comprises the following six areas:
- Foundation Phase
- skills development
- national curriculum
- personal and social education
- careers and the world of work
- religious education.
