The curriculum currently implemented in schools is outdated and ineffective. It consists mainly of daily classes, with students spending nearly six hours confined to classrooms. Such a system contributes little to their physical or mental growth. Students are bound to memorise written texts, reproduce what is dictated and prepare for tough examinations. This approach restricts critical thinking, suppresses talents and stifles creativity and focus.
As education evolves rapidly worldwide, schools must adapt and replace this outdated model with a modern and dynamic curriculum. Learning should include debates, group activities, practical work and other skill-development opportunities.
It is therefore essential for the government to review and reform the current school curriculum without delay. The aim must be to nurture creative, innovative learners rather than produce conventional, exam-driven students.
