Within the globalisation and internalization tendencies as discussed above, this paper focuses on a special case- study. This brings into the spotlight the curriculum development in Kuwait. Kuwait offers an educational context that combines strong (religious) traditions, old fashioned ways of teaching, rich potentiality of resources, and a modern vision to reform education for a highly competitive and prosperous Kuwait society. To achieve this goal, a multinational team of international experts monitor and assist the local infrastructure in the process of reforming the national curriculum.
