One has to remember that in 1992 the number of subjects (options) available to students was much more limited than it is today.
Even as a primary teacher there seems to be more and more added to the curriculum that then impacts on the amount of time that can be spent teaching the basics.
As for the new science curriculum, its great (at least in primary) there is less emphasis on the writing down of 'boring' things and more on the fun 'doing' of things.
