To help drive the economic recovery, the UK Government has overhauled the design and technology syllabus following an earlier draft of the document placed too much emphasis on topics such as sewing, cooking, bicycle maintenance and flower arranging.

The curriculum published earlier this year had prioritised “life skills” over academic disciplines. The new curriculum will now cover extensive use of cutting-edge design equipment including laser cutters, robotics and 3D printers. The new-style lessons will start from 2014 and will place a greater emphasis on the core knowledge that each pupil will require between the age of five and 14.
