Ministry of Education has disclosed that, through the Malawi Institute of Education (MIE), it has embarked on the process of reviewing school and college curricula and assessment procedures.
The review focuses on pre-primary, primary, secondary and teacher education curricula.
In a statement signed by secretary for education Rachel Chimbwete-Phiri, the purpose of the reviews is to align the schools and the teacher education curricula with the aspirations of Malawians as stipulated in the Malawi 2063.
“The school and college curricula critically support human capital development for socio-economic growth by empowering citizens with critical knowledge skills, values and attitudes required to navigate the rapidly evolving global world,” reads part of the statement.
The statement further states that one of the activities of the review process is consulting citizens on the school and college curricula and that the ministry recognises the vast treasure of knowledge, skills, value and attitudes citizens have and how they can add value to the transformation of education in Malawi.
The consultative meetings will be held across the country in 18 centres in all the six education divisions from 16th January to 20th January, 2024.
