Overloaded educational curricula

  • Educational overload

Incidence

In the UK in 1992, a survey indicated that teachers thought only about half the curriculum was given adequate time. Subjects losing out were: technology, religious education, music and particularly geography and history.

Claim

In junior schools the sheer weight and detail of what has to be taught is leaving teachers struggling to find time reinforcing the basics and then teaching much of the rest superficially. It is quality time with individual children which is suffering from curriculum overload.
