Education Minister Eurus Volk today announced a series of reforms in the education system to provide greater focus on applying knowledge, particularly in Math, Engineering and the Sciences. Additionally, there will be significantly greater flexibility on the core syllabus requirements to allow teachers to tailor education to individual needs and strengths. Extra funding and incentives have been provided to reduce the average class size from 24 down to a world beating 15 students per class by the end of the decade. 
These changes are being hailed as a revolution in education, however, opponents say subjects such as Literature and the Arts are being marginalised under the proposed new system.
