At its core, educational drama embraces engagement, embodiment and enactment.
David Brooks writes that the "core educational principle was abandoned about a generation ago".
Since 2012, its strategy has emphasized "global and cultural competency" as a core educational priority.
On college campuses, for instance, the core educational mission routinely trumps students' rights to express themselves.
Physical activity should be a core educational concern, not a dispensable option.

Confucianism has greatly influenced Chinese educational ideas.

Not all programmes are based on identical educational ideas.
Evolution is universally recognized as a "core idea" in the life sciences by scientific and educational organizations (e.g., NSTA, NARST, AAAS), policy and standards documents (e.g., AAAS 1999, NRC 2012), and most US state standards.
