INTRODUCTION

                                Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skill and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training or research.

                Curriculum and syllabus are important in an educational system. Both syllabus and curriculum are often fused, and usually given to each student during the first class session so that the objectives at the means of obtaining them are clear. A syllabus usually contains specific information about the course such as information on how, where and when to contact the lecture and teaching assistant; an outline of what will be covered in the course; a schedule of test date and the due dates for assignments; the grading policy for the course; specific classroom rules etc..

               

             

CONTENT

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CURRICULAM AND SYLLABUS

                                A syllabus is a descriptive outline and summary of a topic that are to be covered in an education or training course. The syllabus will usually provide specific information about the said training course and is often drafted by the governing body or by the instructor of the course. Syllabus is the subset of the curriculam.Curriclum is the complete set of taught material in a school system. A curriculum is a set of courses, and their content, offered at a school or university. A general curriculum, in the broadest sense of the word may list all courses offered at a specific school. A curriculum is prescriptive, which means that is issued by the governing body and list topics must understood by the student at the end of the course and what level to achieve a particular grade or standard.

NATIONAL CURRICULAM FRAMEWORK 2005 (NCF 2005)

The National Curriculum framework 2005, is one of the four National Curriculum Frameworks published in 1975, 1988, 2000, 2005 by the National Council of Educational Research and Training in India (NCERT). The document provides the framework for making syllabi, text books and teaching practices within the school education programmes in India. The National Curriculum Framework 2005 document draws its policy basis from earlier government reports on education as Learning without Burden and National Policy of Education 1986-1992 and focus group discussion. After wide ranging deliberations 21 National Focus Group position papers have been developed under the agencies of National Curriculum Framework 2005.

      The approach and recommendations of National Curriculum Framework 2005 are for the entire educational system. A number of its recommendations for example, focus on rural schools. The syllabus and text books based on it are being used by all the CBSE schools, but National Curriculum Framework base material is also being used in many state schools. National Curriculum framework 2005 has been translated into 22 languages and has influenced the syllabi in 17 states. The NCERT gave a grant of Rs.10 lakhs to each state to promote National Curriculum Framework in the language of the state and to compare its current syllabus with the syllabus proposed, so that a plan for future reforms could be made.

      National Curriculum Framework 2005 is a document consists of five chapters. It frequently revolves round the question of curriculum load on children, supervised by a national steering committee. The steering committee comprising 35 highly respected educationists- professors, NGO leaders, School teachers and Intellectuals from across the country.

The basic concept of National Curriculum Framework 2005.

·      Mutual independence – “Greatest happiness is when we realize ourselves through others” -       Tagore.

·      To enable the children to make sense of life and develop their potential.

·      Exclusively competitive relationship puts unreasonable stress on children and thus distorts.

·      Connecting knowledge to life outside the school.

·      Enriching the curriculum to provide for overall development of children rather than remain textbook centric.

·      Making examination more flexible and integrated into classroom life.

·      The development of self esteem and ethics in students.

KERALA CURRICULUM   FRAME WORK 2007

(KCF 2007)

The curriculum revision programme in Kerala is launched as part of an endeavor to strengthen the primary, secondary school education in Kerala. The curriculum revision programme in Kerala was conceptualized on the basis of the recommendations of the National Curriculum Framework 2005. The curriculum revision initiated in 1996 in Kerala. Kerala could display the active working model of a learning process that has its foundation in the principles of constructivism and a learner-centered, activity- based and process- oriented.

The curriculum that has been designed, along with the learning materials prepared, has much to claim on the grounds of quality. But it should also serve to bring about changes in the academic environment that usually tends to stick to worn-out practices. A new trend can be established only with the active participation of the civil society, which would make the curriculum popular and acceptable. There is a general demand to explain the social aims of a curriculum. A student who completes his school education is expected to be able to face any real life situation boldly and should be equipped to get employed at the time of completion of his course. This is the purpose of education and not a mere internalization of academic subjects.            

CONCLUSION

Curriculum is the crux of the whole educational process.Without curriculum we cannot conceive of any educational endeavor.In brief curriculum is the means of achieving the goal of education.It includes all these experience,activities and  environmental influences to which the student is exposed during his educational career.Syllabus is the actual matter that makes up teaching.A syllabus is the specification of the work of a particular department especially schools,colleges etc.It is time to bound and specifies a starting point and an ultimate goal.The National Curriculum Framework2005,

Kerala Curriculum Framework 2007.helps to develop in students self-esteem,self-confidence and leadership qualities etc…It also helps to reduce the load of burden in students.They can acquire knowledge themselves and can also apply this knowledge in their life.
