PRIMARY ENDLISH CURRICULU DEVELOPMENT WITHIN INDEPENDENT BILINGUAL BRITISH SCHOOLS IN PERU---ISSUES AND PRACTICE
INTRODUCTION
The issues surrounding curriculum development for the Primary English curriculum within an independent, bilingual, British school in Peru include areas such as the view of learning English within Peruvian society, particular aspects of bilingualism and intercultural tensions. A model for curriculum planning and development which analyses this context and discusses options for content and its structure, is presented below. Other aspects of a holistic curriculum, such as teaching and assessment methods, are not considered.
CONTEXT
British schools in Peru- an understanding
British schools in Peru (for 3-17) were generally founded by a British national living in Peru. Some sought to provide
Education for BRISH children attending. They offer international examinations, such as IGCSE, and some offer International Baccalaureate. The British Council criteria for being a “British school” included having a British Head and an external examinations system based on the UK system. Within Peru there are six “BRITISH”schools which enjoy limited benefits form the British Council, such as grants and teacher training. These schools, along with other similar schools in Latin America, have now founded the Latin American Heads Conference (LAHC) which aims to foster an ethos through which the schools may continually develop as centers of excellence, reflecting British practice and providing the best possible learning experience and opportunities for pupils. The Conference organizes joint events and encourages cooperation and opportunities for appraisal. It also promotes contact with British educational institutions.
Within the Peruvian educational system, the schools are considered to be independent, private, bilingual schools. Many other private schools exist, and within the bilingual sector there are several schools offering different languages. Initially, the Peruvian Ministry of Education demanded that a bilingual school should have a Peruvian Head. This led to most bilingual schools having two heads. One was the “Headmaster” or HEADISTRESS (in the case of British schools, a British national) and the other was often called the “Promoter”. The Peruvian Head was often simply a puppet, more a
public relations figure, who appeased the parents, explained policies in Spanish, was “understanding” towards staff complaints and mediated. In other word, the British Head took on Peruvian citizenship as soon as he or she had been in the country long enough. This has now changed as the Peruvian government no longer requires a Peruvian Head.
