The Government is looking to broaden the social science curriculum, but it's prompted concern from some educators.
The Education Minister today unveiled proposed changes to content for Years 1-10, on top of the English and Maths refresh announced earlier.
History Teachers' Association chair Craig Thornhill says there's lots of interesting topics being proposed, but no proper structure.
"They all seem to be quite free-standing and there's no way for students to join the dots between those topics. The other key concern is the sheer amount of content - for example, students in Year 0-8 are only going to have three hours a week to learn this stuff."
