Normative action for quality education 2012, para. 68
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- Laws and policies in many countries require the national curriculum to establish common core competencies with uniform standards countrywide. Ministries of education and other national education authorities often frame the national curriculum according to which pedagogical materials for schools are developed. In the Republic of Korea, for example, the Elementary and Secondary Act provides for the Minister of Education, Science and Technology to determine the basic matters concerning the standards and contents of the common curriculum, and schools are required to use textbooks approved and authorized by the Ministry. In Russia, the Education Law (amended in 2005) stipulates a mandatory minimum content for basic education syllabi, and provides for a “single State educational standard” (arts. 7 and 9), as does the National Basic Curriculum in Guatemala. In Australia, all pupils should be taught on the basis of agreed curriculum content, regardless of their circumstances, the type of school they attend or the school location. In France, a national education programme set by the State is mandatory for both public and private schools, while in Mauritius, the guidelines for curriculum development are set out in the document entitled “Towards a Quality Curriculum: Strategy for Reform,” of September 2006.
