Features of the New Primary Curriculum

Below are the key features of the newly-introduced reforms which will take effect at the start of the new academic calendar in September.

Under the new curriculum, the following important features must be noted;

1. At KG, the number of learning areas is to be reduced from seven (7) to four (4) which are integrated into themes. However, these will be treated with more depth.

2.  At Lower and Upper Primary, the number of subjects remains the same. However, there will be fewer concepts and more in-depth treatment of concept in each subject. Further, there is greater emphasis on literacy and numeracy.

  9. Going through the New G.E.S. Curriculum for Basic Schools, I think it is a good approach to practical learning. However, we can only achieve this if proper training alongside adequate T.L.M.s are made available for all schools. Private schools should also be captured in this training and resource allocation process.
    I have also noticed that Mathematics Curriculum for Higher Primary Schools (Basic 4-6) has been wrongly uploaded.
    Instate of uploading Mathematics Curriculum for Higher Primary Schools (Basic 4-6) into the database, Mathematics Curriculum for Lower Primary Schools (Basic 1-3) was rather uploaded.
    Can the technicians quickly correct that for us?
