Moves towards a seamless curriculum for primary and secondary school students have been welcomed by the leaders of a new learning management approach to education.

Professor Richard Smith and Professor Jim Mienczakowski, of Central Queensland University, believe the combination of Queensland's curriculum councils will complement educational innovation on a much wider scale.

They say that the opportunity to rethink curriculum will overcome the artificial break in each child's educational progress.

The Professors believe the rethink will also reveal the inadequacy of the 'old content', 'old knowledge' approach and will favour the 'learning how to learn' approach.

They say that stripping away the old curriculum architecture will also challenge the traditional conceptions of public education in relation to the time and location of learning.

This new approach will complement advances in teacher education, which is already responding with degrees such as the Bachelor of Learning Management provided by CQU's Faculty of Education and Creative Arts.
