Calling all @TheMediaEdAssoc members. You may have seen the announcement this week about the Curriculum and Assessment Review and its call for evidence. The MEA will be making a submission to the review and we are very keen to hear from Media and Film teachers
* Ensuring an excellent foundation in maths and English
* Curriculum and qualification content
* A broad and balanced curriculum
* Assessment and accountability
* Qualification pathways 16-19
If you would like the MEA to comment on any of the above areas, or anything else that is focused on in the Curriculum Review, please email your comments/ideas to [email protected], or leave a comment below, and we will make this part of our submission.

English should teach us a lot more than what’s described here - with opportunities to study & analyse the language of texts in the world - journalism, blogs, social media etc. It used to pre-Gove. It doesn’t now. And Media Studies has been devalued. That’s the point.
-History teaches us to interrogate sources
-Maths teaches us to think procedurally and logically
-English leads us into examining narrator and character motives and perspective
-Religious studies teaches us that faith claims and truth claims are often divergent
-Science teaches us to test our hypotheses, and to lean on tangible evidence.
Etc.
The architecture and foundation of critical thinking are imbedded and embodied by the disciplinary skills intrinsic to the existing taxonomy of academic subjects.
It’s not an assembly on why Andrew Tate is bad (which he is) or Facebook is stuffed with inane rubbish (which it is). It’s the whole academic experience of a school’s curriculum- when taught thoroughly.
We absolutely agree with the Mayor, in fact both the MEA and Steve Connolly, our MEA chair, suggested it wasn't fit for purpose some time ago! Read Steve’s and @poppygibsonuk piece here👇

Good to see this … but we have been calling for this for some time! Particularly good to see the government recognise the connection between media and English too
