" ... Curriculum for 'changing society'
Languages such as Mandarin and Arabic could be taught
An updated secondary school curriculum, offering skills and languages relevant to modern learners, has been announced.
It will give pupils "social and cultural flexibility" and a "feeling for justice and fairness", says the QCA curriculum watchdog.

WTF does "social and cultural flexibility" and a "feeling for justice and fairness" mean to kiddies? It's all about social engineering.
