OCR, one of England’s three main exam boards, has announced a reform to its English literature syllabus to make way for “exciting and diverse” new poems. It has included 15 new works, retained 30 and removed 15. New names include British-Jamaican poet Raymond Antrobus, as well as Ukrainian-American poet Ilya Kaminsky.
Blogger: my English Teacher wife informs me that adjustments had been made to 'ethnic balancing' in all the exam boards she used when still teaching ten+ years ago.
SO WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
(The word 'diverse' as used today fills me with fear.)
