Nationally Prescribed Curricula and Early Childhood Education: The English Experience and Australian Comparisons--Identifying the Rhetoric and the Reality!

Moyles, Janet

Australian Journal of Early Childhood, v21 n1 p27-31 Mar 1996

Compares the 1989 National Curriculum implemented in Great Britain with the National Agenda for Curriculum Reform in Australia. Reports some of the concerns about early childhood education (heavily subject-dominated curriculum and formalized assessment) the curriculum caused in Britain. Urges Australian educators to learn from Britain's experience and advocate a clear and sound articulation of quality early child practice. (TM)
