When children go back to school in Wales in September all primaries and half of secondaries will begin teaching a new curriculum. The biggest change to education in a generation has been years in the making and the Welsh Government has provided £35m of extra cash to support it this year.
The rollout of the new curriculum is for children in year seven and below from September. Older groups in high schools will continue as before.
Teachers will have more freedom on what they teach and traditional subject boundaries will be scrapped under the reform. The Welsh Government has allowed high schools to delay until next year, which half have done - that means children in their first year of secondary will follow different curriculums depending where they go to school.
