A seeming reverse of last week’s announcement.
The Guardian reports:
After months of angst and debate over the omission of the term “climate change” from the draft version of the new geography curriculum for key stages 1-3, the Department for Education has today released the new wording.
The two versions remain virtually word-for-word the same, except for this section of the key stage 3 “subject content”. Under the head “human and physical geography”, the draft wording (pdf), first published in March, said that pupils should be taught to:
… understand how human and physical processes interact to have an impact on and form distinctive landscapes.
The new version (pdf) has now been amended to say:
… understand how human and physical processes interact to influence, and change landscapes, environments and the climate; and how human activity relies on effective functioning of natural systems.
On the other hand, they can no longer use these guidelines to sack people who teach real science. I realise how insignificant the population of real scientists is, and how few of them are willing to teach, but still. It can’t be worse than it was.
All in all, it’s just another brick…..
Under either draft, you can be sure the warmists will smuggle in as much warmism as they can get away with.
