The days of teachers standing in front of a class delivering lessons could be over within a decade, Education Secretary Michael Gove said yesterday. Speaking at the BETT show for educational technology in London, he also announced plans for a shake-up of the way technology is taught. Mr Gove called the current ICT (information and communication technology) curriculum “demotivating and dull”. From September it will be replaced by a flexible curriculum in computer science and programming. He said this would create young people “able to work at the forefront of technological change”. The Education Secretary warned that education had “barely changed” while technological advances had altered the world.
