curriculum reform

Updating school programs

Curriculum reform is the process of making significant changes to what and how students are taught in schools or educational systems.

It typically involves revising course content, teaching methods, assessment practices, or educational standards to address perceived shortcomings or to adapt to changing societal needs.

The district's curriculum reform emphasized critical thinking over rote memorization.

Curriculum reform often sparks debate among educators, parents, and politicians about what knowledge and skills matter most.
