Abstract (English): | The extent and scope of state regulation of the secular curriculum and of the quality of educational provision in schools in England has grown virtually beyond recognition in the past 15 years. Within that period, England has moved from being one of the least legally regulated systems to one of the most highly regulated in Europe, a transformation which has been by no means without political, educational and legal controversy. ... This article will first address the question as to why the government decided to develop a highly detailed and prescriptive regulatory framework for the curriculum in England, placing this reform in the context of other related educational reforms during the same period. The second part of the article will examine some key elements of the regulatory framework itself and will discuss in particular the manner in which it is formulated and promulgated by the central government. ... The final part of the article will consider the potential for legal challenge by aggrieved parties - parents or children - in respect of the substantive content, quality or delivery of the curriculum in schools. It will consider the limited litigation that has arisen so far in England relating to the substance of educational provision, and whether the establishment of a detailed regulatory framework for the curriculum increases the likelihood of litigation in this context.
