Issues paper 8: 14-19 Curriculum: the Humanities

Following its three Annual Reports in 2004, 2005 and 2006, the Nuffield Review of 14-19 Education and Training produced Issues Papers which focus upon specific areas of concern, with a view to widening the debate, testing out tentative conclusions and seeking further evidence.

This paper focuses upon the place of the Humanities within the changing 14-19 phase, especially their contribution to answering the central question of the Review: what counts as an educated 19 year old in this day and age?

By 'Humanities' is meant those studies which centre attention on the nature of human beings and how they interact with each other and their environment.
