I will address the issue of critical thinking. I have looked at the Oxford report, cited in several areas around the assessment of higher order thinking, which recommended that the curriculum be narrowed. How can students do seven subjects in any depth, and allow time and space for critical thinking, when we are trying to assess so many subjects? How do we have more critical thinking and problem solving when we have so many subjects?
