Feels out of context. I couldn't even figure out what age of students they're talking about until I read "One said the focus on four specific topics was likely to leave pupils bored with science by the time they reached secondary school." So I guess elementary school.
Now, the complaint is that instead of physics, chemistry, and biology, it's "the Earth system, biodiversity, food, energy and water, and infectious diseases." That's all it says, I don't really know what that's supposed to mean. The elementary school version of chemistry I learned was just making vinegar and baking soda volcanoes. Maybe that's "energy" now.
