New Standards-Based Curriculum-NaCCA

The new standards-based curriculum design by the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA) in partnership with the Ministry of Education is to ensure the quality of education and inclusive for all learners. It is for this reason that the new curriculum sets all the subject areas learners must be taught, how they should be taught, and how to assessed them. Also, it provides a set of basic skills learners are to acquire and demonstrate as they progress from one curriculum stage to the other.

Teachers Manual for Standards-Based Curriculum

The curriculum and its related teachers’ manual encourage the use of inclusive and gender-responsive pedagogy which placed learners at the Centre of teaching and learning. Hence, all learners regardless of their gender can participate freely in every learning activity.
