Not quite there yet

I was looking for interesting news on the ESF website. The news section has this:

ESF News - October 2006

Developments in Chinese provision
We have now completed benchmarking of our Year 10 students. Over 70% are second language learners of Chinese and about 15% demonstrate near first language competence as defined by the IB curriculum framework. Read more

We have started writing our new Primary Chinese curriculum. This will be ready for the Primary Chinese Pilot Project which begins in January. We are currently defining the expected outcomes of the curriculum. Read more

Guess what? The links take you to the CLC* where you get a message saying that the downloads either don't exist or you're not allowed to read them. This website needs more work, methinks (it's most likely a problem with the CLC, but someone ought to check that the links work).

The Primary Chinese Pilot Project is actually quite an interesting initiative, so I'd like to write about it, but maybe another time.

* CLC = Connected Learning Community (the ESF's Intranet). Parents will be getting their own logon id's real soon now.
