National curriculum, UK
From WikiEducator
The National Curriculum was introduced into England, Wales and Northern Ireland as a nationwide curriculum for primary and secondary state schools following the Education Reform Act 1988. Notwithstanding its name, it does not apply to independent schools, which by definition are free to set their own curriculum, but it ensures that state schools of all local education authorities have a common curriculum.
