For decades, we have worked with a curriculum that is highly content-based; one that focuses its success metric on a student’s ability to retain knowledge rather than fully understand it and apply it in real life settings. It is an exam-oriented curriculum that has seen learners memorise for exams but can hardly apply what has been learnt.
All this is about to change with the proposed new education curriculum where learners are required to apply the knowledge they have learnt in class.
