To implement a major reform to the delivery the 11-16 curriculum in UK.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

To prioritise the teaching of practical and creative learning rather than learning through top-down national curriculums tested through exam structures only. The timetable prioritises academic subjects and not practices which will benefit the overall well-being and health of our young generation.
We are living in a rapidly changing world of technology, yet the UK state school system still appears to be in the Victorian times.
We need to prioritise 11-16 students to leave school not deficient in essential skills required for life- a knowledge of the law, banking, money management and debt, health and diet, culinary skills, the environment, music, forging positive human relationships and public speaking skills has never been so paramount.
