Revised Curriculum for Wales guidance published with £15m pledged for support
Welsh Education Minister Kirsty Williams has published the revised Curriculum for Wales guidance and confirmed an additional £15m to support teachers as they prepare for its implementation.
The new guidance has been revised following extensive feedback from the draft curriculum published in April 2019 - it is simpler, shorter and gives every school in Wales the opportunity to design their own curriculum within a national approach that ensures consistency.
The Minister also confirmed an additional £15m would be made available next year to support the curriculum’s implementation, with £12m going directly to schools for professional learning.
As part of the National Approach to Professional Learning there will be an additional INSET day for the next three years, a total of 18 over three years, with resources developed for schools to use.
The Minister also confirmed plans to publish the curriculum’s implementation plan after Easter.
The plan will provide a clear outline for implementation based on where schools should be focusing their efforts at different points up to 2022 and how they will be supported in doing this.
The Minister said: "I am delighted to publish the revised guidance today for our new, completely reformed, made in Wales, school curriculum.
"This is a huge landmark for Welsh education - I am proud that we are leading the way on education reform and focusing on the knowledge and skills our young people need to become rounded citizens of Wales and the world."
