DESCRIPTION:*LfL and PLACE Academic Group Discussion Seminar*\n\nThe gover
 nment in England has specified that the national curriculum for primary an
 d secondary education in England will be organised as subjects. The progra
 mmes of study for the “key subjects” of English\, maths\, science and 
 physical education are currently the focus for the first phase of a public
  consultation. This consultation is also asking which other subjects shoul
 d be included in the national curriculum: for example\, should music be a 
 subject in the national curriculum\, or ICT ?\n\nProfessor Mary James\, wh
 o is a member of the national curriculum review expert panel\, will be sha
 ring her expertise with participants at the seminar. We invite all members
  of the faculty to discuss the implications of the government’s proposal
 s with a view to producing a response.\n\nIt is intended that the seminar 
 will be an open discussion about the national curriculum but we also welco
 me five minute presentations from participants. Please contact Dominic Wys
 e (bdw28@cam.ac.uk) if you would like to present.\n\nIn preparation for th
 e seminar it would be ideal if participants could complete the online cons
 ultation as a way to update on the key issues and to influence this import
 ant process: \n\n(http://www.education.gov.uk/consultations/index.cfm?acti
