When I was in the 5th grade, some people had suggested to switch to a

international-curriculum school, but my parents weren’t agreeing , why

you many ask . Let me tell you, my parents thought that in an Indian
curriculum school I was being challenged to MY limits and that it was a
better option for ME as an individual but for many others it’s very
different. It all depends on goal and personality. And that is exactly why
we have multiple curriculums for studies and higher education. Some
curriculums being aural, verbal, theoretical, logical and more. Two
main curriculums in the U.A.E are British Curriculum, one of the most
popular curricula in English-speaking international schools. As one of
the leading international curricula, the British Curriculum is recognized
by schools, academies, universities, and employers worldwide. And of
course Indian curriculums, Indian curriculum is offered in 24 countries
and more than 9 of 10 schools in India are based on this education
system. We need both of these curriculums because they are special in
their own way. Indian curriculum focuses primarily on studies and helps
us in handling pressure from day 1, this often lead to medical,
engineering etc. while British curriculum schools focus on giving
individual attention to each child which helps them excel in their
passions. These are personalized educations based on the child’s
ambitions, We can’t possibly have just one curriculum with a mix of all
these systems. There is no – ONE SIZE FITS ALL- in education. Some
children prefer to focus in class and write notes while others like a
more engaging learning where they don’t get easily distracted.

Take Indian kids for example, there aren’t nearly as many vacancies in
India to fit all of us, and some children go abroad to study, and to
prepare for that, they will want to be used to the communities in that
specific country, thus making them wanting to excel in that curriculum
from a young age which leads to joining international curriculums and
not just Indian.
Every country has different traditions, foods, thought process so why
shouldn’t they have their own curriculum based on their requirements.
I feel there should be multiple curriculums for each child to choose
from, so that they can easily know their areas of interests from start to
finish. That’s what’s most important.

These are not the only challenges that would be faced, the shortage of
money still exists, some curriculums like Indian don’t require a lot of
fees so it’s quite affordable, but on the other hand, international school
fees is rather expensive for many. So the question arises. If we are to
have just one curriculum will it be affordable to everyone considering
that international school teachers want to be paid well?

In conclusion, Having just one curriculum is like telling all students to fit
into a specific mold of an ideal role model. Im sure we all know, that’s
not what should be encouraged in this generation.

- Each country has different thought processes, cultures so why

not different curriculums?
- The fees question
- Having one curriculum is like a form of inequality as it’s saying
that this is the only curriculum and you HAVE to do this to be
successful in you future
- With one curriculum based on one country, will all children have
to go to that country to study ? And will it have enough space to
accommodate EVERYONE.
