Shun exam oriented curriculum

Stakeholders expect the curriculum that will result from the reform process the Government is about to initiate, will not be examination oriented as the current one. The curriculum developers never designed the current curriculum to be examination oriented. The experts designed the curriculum with scope and sequences that provide for effective teaching and learning. They also provided for balanced assessment of learning experiences of the prescribed curriculum.

The assessment was to be guided by three fundamental principles of assessment: first, to diagnose the on-going teaching and learning process; to prescribe solutions to the identified weaknesses in the teaching and learning process and, to evaluate student learning at the of end an educational cycle.
