Eminent educationalist Sir Ken Robinson was speaking at TED, the Technology Education Design conference, in California. You can listen to his 20 minute keynote online. He says:

“Every education system in the earth has the same hierarchy of subjects. You’d think it would be otherwise, but it isn’t. Mathematics, Languages, Humanities and then the Arts. Everywhere on earth.”

Languages? Plural? Are languages given top priority, equal to English, in the hierarchy of subjects in Scotland? And what about England and Wales?
