What Kind of Common Curriculum?

Lawton, Denis

Forum for the Discussion of New Trends in Education, v22 n3 p80-81 Sum 1980

The author agrees with Clyde Chitty (pp73-76 of this issue) that the current "options" system of English secondary education is inadequate for most pupils, but he rejects the Department of Education and Science's proposed common core curriculum as an inadequate and even potentially harmful alternative.
