Eduwatch calls for phased rollout of reviewed KG, primary curriculum

The organisation said the success of the curriculum would depend on teacher preparedness, availability of teaching and learning resources, institutional capacity, sustainable financing and effective implementation support.

The education policy think tank welcomed the curriculum review by the Ministry and the National Council for Curriculum and Assessment (NaCCA), describing it as an opportunity to strengthen foundational learning, citizenship education, multilingualism and competency-based learning.

The organisation outlined key conditions that should be met before nationwide implementation, including comprehensive teacher training on competency-based teaching methods and task-based assessment, stakeholder orientation, provision of adequate teaching and learning materials, and a strong monitoring and accountability framework.
