This seminar brought together stakeholders with policymakers to discuss implementation of the new primary level curriculum.
Areas for discussion included priorities for:
- the design and implementation phases
- support for schools and teachers to successfully teach the new curriculum
- addressing challenges for teachers as they approach the new Areas of Learning
- learning from Pioneer Schools
It came with the rollout of the new curriculum commencing in primary schools in September 2022, and with concerns from some that schools should be given more time for implementation and allowed to focus on education recovery in the context of COVID-19.
Sessions in the agenda looked at:
- curriculum design
- approaching the new Areas of Learning and Experience
- delivering the curriculum
- assessment under the new system
- policy priorities and next steps for primary level education in Wales
We are pleased to have been able to include keynote sessions with Dr Georgina Haarhoff, Deputy Director, Curriculum and Assessment, Welsh Government; and Gareth Evans, Director of Education Policy, Yr Athrofa: Centre for Education, University of Wales Trinity Saint David.
The conference was an opportunity for stakeholders to consider the issues alongside key policy officials who attended from Senedd Cymru, the Welsh Government, and the IPO.
