	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2014 answer text <p>The new national curriculum, to be taught from September 2014, reflects a body of essential knowledge and core concepts in key subjects. The Government does not believe that it is appropriate for the national curriculum to set out how teachers should teach, or how they should structure their school day. The national curriculum has been slimmed down to allow teachers more flexibility to use their professionalism and expertise to create lessons that really inspire and engage their pupils, and help them to develop deeper knowledge and understanding of materials.</p> answering member printed Lord Nash question first answered 20/03/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4270 label Biography information for Lord Nash
