In an education system that promotes decentralization of authority to local areas and local educational institutions so as to participate in curriculum development, the relevant agencies at different educational levels, i.e., national, local and educational institution levels, play important roles, and have duties and responsibilities to develop, provide support and encourage efficient curriculum implementation and development. These measures will ensure the highest efficiency in preparation of the education institutions’ curriculums as well as educational provision by these educational institutions, resulting in enhancing learners’ quality so as to attain the learning standards prescribed at the national level.
At the local level, offices of the educational service areas and other parent agencies play important roles in improving quality of educational provision. They provide the linkage between the Basic Education Core Curriculum prescribed at the national level and the local situations and needs, leading to preparation of the educational institutions’ curriculums, the implementation and development of which will be strengthened to ensure success. Their main tasks are: setting the goals and points of emphasis for developing learners’ quality at the local level, with due consideration given to national requirements; developing local learning contents; evaluating quality of education provided at the local level; increasing the quality of curriculum implementation through research and development, personnel development, support provision, promotion, evaluation monitoring, and analysis and reports on learners’ quality.
Educational institutions play important roles in developing their own curriculums, planning for curriculum implementation, increasing quality of curriculum implementation through research and development, improving and further developing the curriculum, and preparing regulations for measurement and evaluation. In preparing their own curriculums, educational institutions must attach prime importance to attuning to the Basic Education Core Curriculum and other details provided by educational service areas or other parent agencies at the local level. Respective educational institutions can also add various aspects of problems and concerns of the community and the society, local wisdom, and learners’ needs, with participation and contribution of all sectors in the preparation of their curriculums.
