Some issues of the magazine are light, others tend to deal with more weighty subjects. Tomorrow’s edition of Child leans towards the latter, being heavy on the “back to school” theme – quite a serious one for any parent with a deep interest in their child’s future.

It is their child’s educational future that one article delves into in some depth: an interview with Grace Grima, one of the architects of the revision of the national minimum curriculum that is currently underway.

The interview gives a glimpse of the type of educational system that is being envisaged by today’s educational leaders, who will soon be inviting parents to give their input during the consultation process over the new curriculum.

That makes Child, out free with The Times tomorrow, essential reading for parents of schoolchildren.
