Curriculum making is not a child's play

School curriculum has far reaching impact in shaping the society as the life of students is to a large extent affected by curriculum. Curriculum includes everything that goes on in the school including the learning contents which is listed as syllabus, teaching methodology, school timings, evaluation system etc.

School curriculum must be useful to students in their future life. It should not be a time waster or junk items. Students time is as precious as adults. It is during schooling that they have to learn essential skills needed for life.

Curriculum making is a tedious activity that has to be supported by large amount of research...it is not to be left to the whims and fancies of a few teachers to design a curriculum. Many textbooks amply reveal that these people do not have any vision or direction while doing their work.
