1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Since the arrangement of schooling and higher education has long been connected with the concept of curriculum, it is acceptable to argue that curriculum is all about the experiences needed of a kid for overall development. A curriculum is a specific type of specification for the teaching practice. It is neither a collection of resources or a list of topics to cover; rather, it is a technique for converting any educational concept into a tested hypothesis in reality. It encourages examination rather than acquiescence (Stenhouse, 2005).
Additionally, a curriculum is defined as a specification for the teaching practice that takes into account the pragmatic effectiveness of the learners' experiences. As a broad notion, experience refers to information or abilities earned via participation in or exposure to something or some events. In this regard, the curriculum is a critical component of education, with the overall goals of education being heavily dependent on the nature of the curriculum (NERDC, 2004).
