Astonishingly they describe it as a “thought paper” – it’s difficult to imagine a more Orwellian term – and it’s called “Exploring the Four Capacities”. This paper was, I kid you not, produced – no doubt at some significant cost – by a firm called “NoTosh”. Lol.
The four capacities, as you will recall, are the foundation of Curriculum for Excellence, that vague structure under which Scottish education has laboured for the past dozen years, and which last year’s Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) report suggested wasn’t working in practice. It’s now possible to be in sixth year and have had CfE as the basis of your education for as long as you’ve been at school.
