This document discusses the need for curriculum revision and renewal. It defines curriculum and explains its significance as a plan for instruction and achieving educational goals. Regular revision is necessary to eliminate outdated content, introduce new knowledge and teaching methods, and align the curriculum with learner needs, interests, and societal changes. The curriculum renewal process should involve stakeholders and allow for continuous improvement based on assessment and evaluation of student learning. It is a significant undertaking that requires careful planning and implementation to be effective in facilitating social change.

2. CURRICULUM
“Master plan for selecting content and organizing
learning experiences for the purpose of changing and
developing learners' behaviours and insights"
David G. Armstrong (1989)
Curriculum as Content
Curriculum as Learning Experiences
Curriculum as a Plan for Instruction
Curriculum as a Nontechnical Approach

3. SIGNIFICANCE OF CURRICULUM
Curriculum is a runway for attaining goals of education
It is considered as a blueprint of an educational programme
The basis for any major curriculum change is significantly to improve the
existing curriculum
The Process of Curriculum change helps in the assessment of future needs
of the existing curriculum along with a determination of what needs to be
changed and the selection of possible solutions to problems and the means by
which the necessary changes can be achieved.
Curriculum revision means to give it a new position or direction
Alteration to its philosophy by way of its aims and objectives, reviewing the
content included, revising its methods and re-thinking its effectiveness

4. NEED FOR REVISION IN CURRICULUM
To restructure the curriculum according to the needs,
interests or abilities of the learner.
To eliminate unnecessary units, teaching methods and
contents.
To introduce latest and update methods of teaching and
content, new knowledge and practices.
To add or delete number of teaching hours of instruction.
To correlate between the student’s theory courses and
learning practices.
To select learning experiences base on the objectives
rather than on the service needs of the society
The students themselves receive little or no experience in
assuming responsibilities or in making choices, everything
is decided for them by the teacher or the administrator.
