Bligh calls for national curriculum

Bligh calls for national curriculum : "'A national curriculum authority would provide not only consistency of learning across the country but sufficient flexibility for teachers in our classrooms to be providing local resources to meet that curriculum,' she said."

Given the number of families who have to move around to find work, or avoid hazardous weather conditions, then I'd say this idea of a national curriculum would be good. It would hopefully mean that teachers could move around too if they wanted too. It would create flexibility in that sense. I should think it would also be easier to streamline resources and improve online delivery of support, help and curriculum so that those who need to be online could have the same resources as everyone else. It would have to be negotiated so that the best from each state is incorporated into the national curriculum and then the anomaly of the Eastern Sates starting high school a year earlier needs to be addressed. We are one country. We need to hear what the disadvantages would be.
