Curriculum Victoria: growing and learning

A talk by Michael Norman, which highlights the changing expectations our society has for adolescents. With reference to students of 1912, 1948 and 1979, who appear in the program, mention is made of the narrowing academic learning that occurred rather than a broadening of the curriculum.
