Question

How curriculum help in achieving aims of education?

Answer 1

A curriculum is important in an educational system. It helps one plan the education process or procedure for a given period of time (a term, session, lesson period etc). As the saying goes, if you fail to plan then you plan to fail.

Curriculum consists of continuous chain of activities needed to translate educational goals into concrete activities, materials and observable change in behavior. A lesson plan for example is a curriculum used by the teacher in the classroom.

Now, imagine a teacher going into the classroom not knowing what to teach or how to teach it, that is going to be a disaster for her or him because at the end the students wouldn't have learnt anything apart from the fact that the teacher seems confused and the teacher would be mentally stressed out unneccessarily a resultof lack of planning (curriculum).

Hence for a society to achieve its educational goals, it needs a curriculum that is functional and relevant to its needs.
