Comparing the school curriculum across the UK

Maisuria, Alpesh

Abstract

The school curriculum in England is the responsibility of the Westminster Government. Since devolution (1997-99), the respective state school curriculums in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, have been a devolved matter. Education policy in Scotland and Wales is determined by the Scottish and Welsh Governments respectively. There are arrangements for the Northern Ireland Executive to be responsible for education. This briefing provides an overview of each of these four curriculums. It considers their respective futures, highlighting some key issues that may feature in future reforms.
