Theoretically, this is very democratic. There is no more prescribed curriculum once forced every student no matter whom they are, where they are to use it. There is not much to worry about the IP and EP program because schools with such programs normally hire professionals and educators to help them with curriculum development responding to students’ , parents’ and communities’ needs. The Ministry of Education has tried to educate teachers on why and what about standards and provide training on curriculum development. Unfortunately the process moved rather slowly and inadequately. It sometimes even confused teachers more because the supervisors and MOE people got used to with the same supervision style-----one and only MOE style or model of curriculum development. Also we have been talking about school curriculum but in practice some schools adopt other schools’ curriculum. If they are located in similar environment, it is quite acceptable but not recommended for those whose environment are completely different from each other. The EP and IP program can help students exceed standards not only meet standards because of more time allotment, teachers’ proficiency and curriculum which allow them to use English language daily in their classroom as teachers use it as a medium of instruction in other subjects too. However common students in common school programs do not have this chance.
