the district, which is an educational entity of
the state.
• It is the state, the governor, the legislature
(the state dept. of education or state board of
education) which has ultimate responsibility
over the curriculum.

decision maker.

an implementer.

how should it be done are decisions which the
teachers should make.

the written material. To do this, there is the need of
another actor, the learners. No curriculum will
succeed without the learners

ADMINISTRATORS”

curriculum manager or school administrator. In fact,
for school principals, one of their functions is being a
curriculum manager.
• They supervise curriculum implementation, select
and recruit new teachers, admit students, procure
equipment and materials needed for effective
learning. They also plan for the improvement of
school facilities and physical plants.
