Curriculum for Wales

From 31 January 2023, the Curriculum for Wales framework guidance has been updated. Changes include:
- a revised journey to curriculum roll-out section to reflect the fact that the curriculum is now being implemented
- corrections to issues with definitions and hyperlinks
- more clarity through minor amends to narrative following feedback
- updates to ensure correct terminology
In addition, we have included changes to the Humanities Area regarding the ‘history of Wales and the world’.
The Curriculum for Wales framework guidance will be updated annually in January of each year.
