An article specifically related to the concept of 'curriculum' as seen in most western countries. The authors argue that the way we think about 'curriculum' needs to change; from seeing it as a standardised, sequenced set of "pieces of knowledge" that children must learn in order to be successful, to seeing the curriculum as a vehicle for students to learn how to learn, understand, appreciate, adapt to and use (to the best of their ability) what is available in the world around them. A teacher uses the curriculum to challenge every student to achieve as much as possible. This is part of a general educational reform strategy, and is also away to think about including and to include students with disabilities in regular classes as learners and achievers.
