WHAT IS

CURRICULUM ???
Curriculum is the plans made for guiding learning in
the schools, usually represented in retrievable
documents of several levels of generality, and the
actualization of those plans in the classroom, as
experienced by the learners and as recorded by an
observer; those experiences take place in a learning
environment that also influences what is learned.
