>Australia’s national curriculum is getting a trim with the scrapping of history and geography as stand-alone subjects and replacing this with 21st century computer coding.
>According to the Australian, a new digital technologies curriculum was endorsed by Australia’s education ministers yesterday which would see students as young as early as Year 5 picking up computer coding with students starting to program by Year 7.

It is not like Australian learn history.
They don't even learn about the Hundred Years War or the War of the Roses.
Seems like histoy started with WWI.

in history in Australia we learnt a bunch of random stuff.
For example, in year 11 my class spent 12 weeks on Allende, the revolution and the Pinochet regime.

History all the way through Primary school was about exploration of Australia, the Gold rush in the 1850s, eventual freedom from the Brits and the involvement in WWI.
Year 7-9 was a process of Ancient Egypt, the Romans, Medieval Europe, the Italian Renaissance, and then some more about Australia in WWI. Year 9 is when they introduced analysis of historical documents for creating an argument.
Didn't take history in 10-12, but I know that year 12 had a choice between Australian history and "Revolutions" - the French, Chinese and Russian revolutions.
If only all STEM wasn't so fucking boring
I remember learning about Aboriginal history and some ancient Greek and Roman history but not 'great' history, more just how they lived back then.
I know a lot about our involvement of WW1 and WW2 because we learned that almost every day.
The most taught history in Australia is colonial history though compared to other subjects history is seen as a waste.
I'm a HS (year 10) dropout though so what would I know?

just come out of an australian high school education
the sum total of our history education was 'aboriginals have a rich and ancient culture and deserve our respect'
we never, ever learnt a single thing about geography
>picking up computer coding
what the fuck? Neat, I had to learn that shit reading visual basic textbooks I nicked from uni students on the train. Good to see, good to see

We studied Australian history, the world wars, Russian history, the French revolution, medieval history and ancient history in my high school classes.

Oh and so much time on the rape of Nanking
This is not really /his/. This belongs on /int/.
It's proto-/int/, even. I don't know what board it should be on, but certainly not here.
