THE ROSE REVIEW AND THE FUTURE OF PRIMARY HUMANITIES

The Primary review which published its final report [earlier this year] is likely to provide the blueprint for primary subjects including the humanities for the next few decades. The report contains much to recommend it. There is a genuine concern to rebalance the curriculum to ensure that subject areas such as the humanities do not continue to be neglected in the primary curriculum.

This is essential for the humanities where a wide range of subjects offer their own methodologies and perspectives for understanding human behaviour and experience. More »

What is Humanities?

The following is an extract from the statement of Aims of the Humanities Association (HUMS). 'Humanities is about people: how people create the world they live in; how the world they live in makes them the people they are'. The Humanities Association aims to provide an independent forum for debate about major issues in all aspects of Humanities education. Find out more about the Humanities Association - including the full statement of aims - in the About us section of the website.
