Core reading, writing and maths teaching requirements to be made compulsory

The article doesn't seem to do a good job of explaining the change. It hints that they were required to teach this stuff before (how to read and write, basic maths), but now there will be specific guidelines as to what specific things need to be taught.

You're probably right, it's just such a bizarre headline, and the story does little to clarify.
Throwing a bone to the wingnut portion of the population who actually believes they are not teaching reading and math at school.
