You don't have to re-write it, they are doing it at schools already. With a rumbling funding crisis which seems to get zero air time on the telly (no new money coming in, increased NI employer contributions etc etc), schools are busily slashing and burning all manner of courses. I found out last week that drama has been removed from my school's curriculum. Watch music and other 'creative' subjects go as the pressure to deliver eBacc subjects increases. The Govian rigour is about to kick in from September with all new GCSEs and A levels which only the top end of the school will be able to access. So, yes, maybe a course on how to make do on very little might well be a useful course.
