The curriculum emphasizes literacy, numeracy, critical thinking, and life skills, preparing learners for further education and the workforce. It integrates traditional academic subjects with practical skills and values, promoting inclusive, relevant, and learner-centered education that respects diverse backgrounds and aims to develop well-rounded individuals.
