Primary Years Programme:

What is the curriculum framework?

The curriculum framework consists of five essential elements: concepts, knowledge, skills, attitude, action. The knowledge component is developed through inquiries into six transdisciplinary themes of global significance, supported and balanced by six subject areas.

This is illustrated by the hexagon below

The curriculum framework is further structured around three interrelated questions.

1. What do we want to learn? The written curriculum.

2. How best will we learn? The taught curriculum.

3. How will we know what we have learned? The learned curriculum.
