The document discusses curriculum design and planning. It describes how a group of forest animals started a school and included subjects like flying, tree climbing, swimming, and burrowing in the curriculum. However, they realized that not all animals were suited for each subject. For example, the bird struggled with burrowing and the fish couldn't participate in non-water activities. The document also discusses defining curriculum, its components, principles of curriculum planning, and new trends in education like learner-centered and activity-based approaches.
