 The four C's of curriculum planning
(adapted from E. Krug.WHO,1998)

A programme prepared jointly by a group of

cooperative persons will be less liable to error than one
prepared by a single person.
The preparation of a programme is not
continuous a one-shot operation. In planning it,
provision should be made for its
continuing revision.
In an approach which accepts the
comprehensive interaction of all the programme
components, each must be defined with
the requisite precision.
General and abstract considerations are not
concrete a sufficient basis for drawing up a
programme. Concrete professional tasks
must constitute the essential structure of a
relevant programme.
