Curriculum Issues, Concerns and Responses
Curriculum managers and educational experts are always looking for  better ways to achieve better learning through teaching. However,curriculum innovations seemed to be difficult for many, issues which need to be addressed. Certain aspects need to be clarified in order to overcome theattitude and feelings that create some concerns.
Curricular Issues and Concerns
•
Poor academic performance of the learners.
Issues on the variedimplementation of the curriculum among schools and teachers seem to be the one of the reasons for the prevailing low performance of theschools all over the country. There is perennial complaint about booksand other instructional materials. Overcrowded classrooms do not provide a good learning environment.
•
Curricular innovations lack the sense of ownership fromstakeholders.
Sometimes the implementers lack full understanding of the changes or modifications that they are doing. The goal is unclear,thus there are a lot of questions in the implementation as well asevaluation from concerned persons. Because of these concerns, thereis little support that comes from other stakeholders. They just leavethe school to do it their own thus, giving the classroom teacher the burden.
•
Some curricular innovations are results of bandwagon but are notwell supported by the managers.
In desire of some schools to be part of global educational scenario, changes and innovations aredrastically implemented even if the school is not ready. They jus haveto show that they are also keeping abreast of the development even if their equipment is insufficient.
•
Lack of regular monitoring and evaluation.
After a new curriculumhas been installed, it is left unattended.
 
Very little means is providedto
 
find out if the
 
implementation is running smoothly or not. When thetime of implementation ends, sometimes there is no evaluationaspects, thus the innovation cannot be judged as failure or success for it to be continued or not.
•
Innovations result to teacher burn out.
With so many
 
new changestaking place in the curriculum, many teachers are getting burn out.They get so tired quickly and motivation is very low because theycannot cope up with rapid changes that take place.
•
Innovations are not communicated to all.
Only the managers or the proponents understand the changes. Those who are directly involvedmerely follow hook line and sinker. This is called
regimentation
