    This document provides an overview of curriculum in early childhood education and compares the curriculum approaches between Malaysia and Finland. It defines curriculum as the set of courses, subjects, and educational content taught in a school or institution, as well as the planned learning experiences. The document then outlines some key differences in the curriculum approaches between the two countries. Malaysia traditionally uses a more content-centered approach and standardized testing, while Finland emphasizes a student-centered, play-based, and holistic approach with minimal standardized testing. Both value character development but Finland explicitly focuses on student happiness, social skills, and emotional intelligence.
