UNICEF Education Think Piece #5: Curriculum Reform

Описание: UNICEF has commissioned 10 papers and presentations by leading researchers and practitioners to stimulate debate around educational challenges in Eastern and Southern Africa: a region where most children attend school, but many are not learning the basics. While the articles have academic roots, they are not research papers, nor do they represent UNICEF policy. Rather, they are engaging pieces to inspire fresh thinking to improve learning in Eastern and Southern Africa and globally.

This fifth Think Piece is about curriculum reform. In the Think Piece, the author, Roger Cunningham, challenges the current approach to primary curriculum reform, drawing evidence from a number of ESA countries. He makes the argument that curriculum reform should never exceed the capacity of the education system to deliver.
Roger Cunningham has extensive experience of working in education policy and practice in around thirty countries. Formerly a senior adviser with DFID and the EU, he now works as an independent consultant.
