Answers:
1. A curriculum is a set of plans made for learning. This is also designed to
help teachers and students in the classroom give everyone a top-notch

3. There are many benefits of having an official curriculum. But the main goal
is to help the students learn. An effective curriculum offers a quantifiable
strategy and structure for delivering quality education to teachers,
students, school administrators, and community stakeholders. The
curriculum outlines the standards, basic competencies, and learning goals
that students must meet to move on to the next level. However, the major
pitfall of having a curriculum is that the curriculum does not include all of
the information that students require. Due to the time and effort needed to
do so, they are typically challenging to modify and revise once they have
been produced and accepted. Slow curriculum revisions frequently indicate
that the curricula are not always current and in line with practices and
developments.

4. Teachers and other curriculum workers are the major pillars of the teaching
and learning process. Teachers are essential to any effort to improve the
curriculum because of their knowledge, expertise, and competencies. They
are also in charge of introducing the curriculum both within and outside of
the classroom. Teachers and other curriculum workers can determine
whether a task will captivate students and fit within a given time limit.
