SIGNIFICANCE OF CURRICULUM Curriculum is a runway for attaining goals of education

It is considered as a blueprint of an educational programme

The basis for any major curriculum change is significantly to improve the existing curriculum

The Process of Curriculum change helps in the assessment of future needs of the existing curriculum along with a determination of what needs to be changed and the selection of possible solutions to problems and the means by which the necessary changes can be achieved.

Curriculum revision means to give it a new position or direction

Alteration to its philosophy by way of its aims and objectives, reviewing the content included, revising its methods and re-thinking its effectiveness
