The changes
1) Curriculum Documentation - The Syllabus and Curriculum Specifications are replaced by Standard Document and the Content and Learning Standards. 2) Curriculum Organisation - Modular Structure is being introduced in KSSR. The three broad areas (World of Knowledge, World of Stories, World of Self) and the integration of skills that we have in KBSR are still retained.
3) Curriculum Content - KSSR would still focus on the four language skills. What we know as Sound System in KBSR would be replaced by a broader and more focused Basic Literacy with an emphases on Phonics. Apart from that, we would now have the Language Arts component and also penmanship. Grammar is still going to be taught in context.
4) Approach - For KBSR, we have the Whole Language approach. Under KSSR, it is going to be replaced by Phonics 5) Added value: Under KSSR, we would have Creativity and Entrepreneurship in addition to Educational Emphases.
