Curriculum for Excellence

Curriculum for Excellence is the national curriculum for Scottish Schools for learners from age 3 to 18. It was developed out of a 2002 consultation exercise – the 'National Debate on Education' – undertaken by the Scottish Executive on the state of school education. In response to the National Debate, Ministers established a Curriculum Review Group in November 2003 to identify the purposes of education for the 3 to 18 age range and determine the key principles to be applied in redesigning the curriculum. Its work resulted in the publication in November 2004 of the document A Curriculum for Excellence.^[1] This document identifies four key purposes of education that enable young people to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective contributors.

The implementation of Curriculum for Excellence is being led by Learning and Teaching Scotland.

Criticism

Many within the Scottish teaching profession, including the teachers' union EIS and its members,^[2] believe that the Curriculum for Excellence is too vague, in particular with regards to its 'outcomes and experiences'. There exists a fear that this vague factor will result in teachers not knowing what is expected of them in the classroom.
