Question- Write a short note on philosophy and curriculum.

Answer -

Curriculum is the means through which the educator can realise his goal. Aims of education on the other hand are determined by philosophy. Hence, philosophy too decides why a particular subject should be included in the curriculum. Thus as philosophy determines the aims of education, it also determines the curriculum. The philosophy of a country at a particular time determines the curriculum in which such subjects, activities and experiences are included which are supposed to meet the emerging demands of the society at a particular time.
