The education secretary Michael Gove's efforts to revolutionise learning in England's schools will see five-year-olds studying fractions and writing computer programs in their first year of school, according to final versions of the new national curriculum published on Monday. Among the changes are a requirement for 3-D printers to be used in design and technology lessons, after major revisions to the subject's curriculum.
