The highest-level HSC English course is set to undergo its biggest shakeup in more than 25 years.
The highest-level HSC English course is set to undergo its biggest shakeup in more than 25 years as part of a suite of proposed syllabus reforms that will also overhaul maths and history subjects.
The extension 2 English subject was introduced as part of education reforms in 1997 by then-premier Bob Carr’s government. During the lead-up to the 1995 election, Carr had vowed to “end the bias against humanities subjects in the HSC” and allow students to take four-unit English. Cherrybrook High’s head of English Steve Henry welcomed the fact the syllabus was largely intact and said the tweaks were light, but appreciated.“It won’t necessarily make a big difference to the students, but it will make a difference to the teachers,” he said.Louise Kennerley
The biggest material change in the proposed standard and advanced syllabus was additional guidance when studying texts composed by Indigenous authors.“There are some clearer pointers – it is a lovely part of the curriculum in both standard and advanced,” he said.
