Primary Aims and Supporting Principles of Education

The most vital role of education is to assist students to be functioning members of society. The principles that support this goal are teaching students social skills, basic skills (reading, writing, and arithmetic), as well as critical thought. The environment where education takes place should be safe and nurturing so that students develop a sense of self-worth.

Definition of Curriculum

Curriculum is a plan that endorses the values and norms of society's governing body. It is used in education to guide what content is taught in classrooms. There are two layers present in the curriculum guide. One is the material that is overtly taught, and just below that is the norms and values that this material endorses.
