fulfill in order to pass a certain level of education.
“Curriculum is a very general concept which involves
consideration of the whole complex of
philosophical, social and administrative factors
which contribute to the planning of an educational
program.” (Nunan, 2000: 6)

“The educational purpose of the program (the ends)
The content teaching procedures and learning
experience which will be necessary to achieve this
purpose (the means)
Some means for assessing whether or not the
educational ends have been achieved.”

Kerr defines curriculum as, 'All the learning which is
planned and guided by the school, whether it is
carried on in groups or individually, inside or
