The delivering of the curriculum should be the most important aspect of a child’s school vocation as this provides them with the foundation of knowledge they will need to gain employment in the future. The expectation from the government on schools within the United Kingdom is to consistently be providing respectable exam results annually and this is how they are being judged by such departments as Ofsted.

From the days before the enduring reign of Queen Victoria to the modern era of Mark Edmundson, education has played a vital role in the shaping of history. While the knowledge taught in universities progressively expands, Edmundson would argue that universities are allowing students too much control over how and what they learn.
