Individualized care
In a rapidly changing society effective interpersonal and intrapersonal skills and skills in communication are essential for personal, social and educational fulfillment. The ability to think critically, to apply learning and to develop flexibility and creativity are also important factors in the success of the child’s life. The curriculum places a particular emphasis on promoting these skills and abilities so that children may not just cope but ride the change.
An important goal of the curriculum is to enable children to learn how to learn, and to develop an appreciation of the value and practice of lifelong learning. The curriculum aims to instill a love of learning that will remain with the child through all stages of formal education and that will express itself in an enquiring mind and a heightened curiosity.
principle of the curriculum
It is an underlying principle of the curriculum that the child should be an active agent in his or her own learning. The structure and content of the curriculum are designed to provide opportunities for active engagement in a wide range of learning experiences and to encourage children to respond in a variety of ways to particular content and teaching strategies.
It is the quality of teaching more than anything else that determines the success of the child’s learning and development in school. The teacher offers a wide repertoire of expertise and competence and exercises professional discretion in planning and directing the learning process. He or she has a complex role as a caring facilitator and guide, who interprets the child’s learning needs and responds to them.
The curriculum is learner-centered. It emphasizes the importance of literacy, numeracy, and language, while at the same time responding to changing needs in science and technology, social personal and health education, and citizenship. The curriculum is presented in six subject areas.
