Types of Curricula Simultaneously Operating in the Schools

Are you aware that in every classroom, there are Several types of
curricula operating at the same time? Let us study each one.

1. Recommended Curriculum. Almost all currricula found in our

schools are recommended. For Basic Education, these are
recommended by the Department of Education (DepEd), for Higher
Education, by the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and
for vocational education by TESDA. These three government
agencies oversee and regulate Philippine education. The
recommendations come in the form of memoranda or policies,
standards and guidelines. Other professional organizations or
international bodies like UNESCO also recommend curricula in
schools.

2. Written Curriculum. This includes documents based on the

recommended curriculum. They come in the form of course of study,
syllabi, modules, books or instructional guides among others. A packet
of this written curriculum is the teacher's lesson plan. The most recent
written curriculum is the K to 12 for Philippine Basic Education.
