INTRODUCTION
A knowledge-cantered curriculum is subject-based
and aims to teach students discipline-specific
knowledge and skills. Within each subject, students
learn specialized subject-related concepts.
Non-core items are considered to be peripheral ,
while core items are considered central to operations.

 Conclusion
Non-Core areas of knowledge work
along traditional academic skills. For
example, creative skills can be used in
academic subjects, such as Art and
Design. Non-academic skills are
associated with a range of beneficial
outcomes, such as positive self-image,
increased empathy, and reduced levels of
anti-social behaviour.
