Daring to dream: Fewer GCSEs, more life. How a reduced exam load could open the door to a richer curriculum.
The whole notion of learning is a red herring. I don’t talk about learning, throw it out. I’m sick of thinking about learning because learning in our society, the way we conceptualise it, is about semantic recall and procedural recall in a context. Learning is not the aim of school, learning is the means, the aim of school is human development.
“Secondary schools place far too much emphasis on teaching subject knowledge at the expense of other kinds of learning and development. I simply cannot emphasise this enough.”
“There is more to human development than learning and memorising a knowledge-rich curriculum.”
