Synopsis

Curriculum is a key issue for teachers and trainers in the learning and skills sector. It shapes the programmes that are taught, and dictates which students can have access to courses and which cannot. This book provides an accessible overview of the key issues surrounding the curriculum within the learning and skills sector. Written for all those working towards QTLS, it provides examples and case studies that show these issues within working FE colleges, adult education centres and work-based learning contexts, as well as offering succinct summaries of key theories and debates relating to the curriculum.
