THE NATIONAL CURRICULUM FRAMEWORK

A New Curriculum  has been rolled out in the Maldives in 2015. The NCF promotes holistic approach to education, placing equal emphasis on the development of knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes. The emphasis is laid on building solid foundations of knowledge and skills in the early years of schooling, introducing to students a fundamental understanding of key concepts and processes across a breadth of key learning areas. As a student progresses through the various stages of schooling, the breadth of the curriculum would narrow to some extent, in order to provide adequate time and effort to making rigorous and in-depth study possible. Alongside the development of knowledge, understanding and skills, students would also be exposed to shared values and attitudes that they would be encouraged to adopt, uphold and practise.

To achieve the NCF  target, it is important to reach all the stakeholders and hear their voice.Therefore this blog will provide a platform for the stakeholders to share their view on different aspects of the curriculum, discuss success and challenges they face in the process of implementing  the curriculum.
