Kids may not be interested in English and maths however to become useful citizens it is kind of a basic requirement.
Also Corbyn says we (as in adults) are not interested in maths and English I would imagine the millions of people who do crosswords, sudoko and different other puzzles for fun may argue with that vapid, hipster, I'm down with the kids bullshoot.Comment

Interesting lies from the Daily Mail.
From URL:
Jeremy-Corbyn-claims-no-one-interested-core-subjects.html
'Nobody's interested in English, Maths and Science'
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has claimed people are not interested in core school subjects such as English ,Maths and Science, branding them as 'Michael Gove's Victorian theory of education'.
During his talk, Corbyn said: 'Don't believe in Michael Gove Victorian theory of education that only English, Maths and Science matter. Nobody here is only interested in those three subjects, so why should our children be?'
But no doubt this will be beyond the English comprehension skills of the Mail's readership.Comment

The word 'only' is important. Corbyn is saying there should be a more rounded curriculum as interests extend to other subjects (history would be an example). Nowhere does Corbyn say that nobody is interested in core subjects.

You were mislead into believing that Corbyn actually said this - when he said no such thing. Please read beyond the headlines and make up your own mind.Comment

However regardless of who said what the idea that it is acceptable for people over the age of ten to not gave basic numeracy and literacy skills is wrong.Comment
