School is something many of us have in common. It’s where we are educated and prepped for the real world. But what did we actually learn there? Maybe it was bunsen burners in science, or ‘Scratch’ in ICT, or learning to make a box for your desk in Design Technology… we all have memories of school lessons, but in this episode, we want to delve a little deeper into the school curriculum in the UK, what it consists of, and how useful it is. Join us as we throw it back to our time together in school, think about what we learnt, and consider how effective school teaching is.
