portunity The Flyers dum into effect next September he told the annual conference of the Ontario Association of Curriculum Development In some crucial ways the curriculum in our schools has become less cohesive less di rective and possibly in some cases even less challenging and demanding than ought to have been the case he said We are now convinced that in our enthusiasm for curricu lum flexibility we may have gone too far in decentralizing the responsibility for the prepa ration of courses of study at the elementary and secondary lev els In an interview following his speech Mr Wells said de centralization was great in theory but it just isnt work ing He said it was difficult to pin point why the idea did not work adding that one reason is that there are not enough experts at local boards skilled at developing curriculums The government eventually wants new guidelines dictating core of content in every sub ject in all schools with the ex ception of some optional cour ses
