The national curriculum subjects have been revised and restructured. The purpose of these changes is to identify the skills for each subject and the range of contexts, opportunities and activities through which these skills should be developed and applied. The content has also been updated to ensure relevance to the twenty-first century and manageability for learners and teachers.

A revised curriculum for 3 to 19-year-olds in Wales will be implemented from September 2008.

In revising the curriculum, the challenge was to establish a curriculum for the twenty-first century that meets the needs of individual learners whilst taking account of the broader needs of Wales. To help achieve this, the revised school curriculum aims to:

• focus on the learner
• ensure that appropriate skills development is woven throughout the curriculum
• offer reduced subject content with an increased focus on skills
• focus on continuity and progression 3-19, by building on the Foundation Phase and linking effectively with the 14-19 Learning Pathways programme
• be flexible
• support Government policy, including: bilingualism, Curriculum Cymreig/Wales, Europe and the World, equal opportunities, food and fitness, sustainable development and global citizenship, and the world of work and entrepreneurship
• continue to deliver a distinctive curriculum that is appropriate for Wales.

The revised curriculum comprises the following six areas:

• Foundation Phase
• skills development
• national curriculum
• personal and social education
• careers and the world of work
• religious education.
