Curriculum (education)

A curriculum in education is the structured plan or program of what students are expected to learn. It outlines the subjects, lessons, materials, and skills to be taught across a course or grade level. Think of it as a roadmap that guides teachers on what content to cover and how to assess student progress, ensuring that learning is organized, coherent, and aligned with educational goals. A well-designed curriculum helps students acquire knowledge, develop skills, and prepare for future academic or real-world challenges.
