Advocates believe that educators must firstly identify the needs of society before deciding on a suitable learning
Philosophy: Essentialism
intervention to meet those needs (Shiro, 2013)
Cohen, 1999, cites William Bagley’s Essentialism as a philosophy closely liked to Social Efficiency: one that embraces knowledge, progression, respect and the need for hierarchical structure.

Curriculum Models
The Official Curriculum
Wolf (2011) made a number of recommendations for changing the educational system in the UK in order to equip young people more effectively for progression into the workplace. These were brought into effect by the
Government in September 2014.
Further Education colleges now must offer a ‘Programme of Study to all students aged 16-19. These
Programmes should consist of: a ‘substantial’ academic or vocational qualification, work experience and further work towards attainment of English and/or Maths where they have not yet attained a GCSE at grade A*-C in that subject (Department for Education 2013)
