APPENDIX G
CURRICULUM FOR EXCELLENCE
Curriculum for Excellence began with a National Debate on Education, from which came agreement about the purposes of education, i.e. to enable young people to become successful learners, confident individuals, responsible citizens and effective learners. These four "capacities" will be familiar to carers and social workers and they therefore provide a common language for the aims of care and education in relation to both support for and expectations of looked after children and young people. More detail is provided in the diagram below.
The eight curriculum areas are:
- Mathematics
- Languages
- Social studies
- Expressive Arts
- Sciences
- Technologies
- Health and wellbeing
- Religious and Moral Education
