This was disclosed by the Minister of Education, Madalitso Kambauwa Wirima, at Chichiri Secondary School in Blantyre, during a consultation meeting on school and college curricula assessment review.
Wirima indicated that curriculum review process will ensure that Malawians shape what they want in the school curricula for the betterment of the country.
“The curriculum review process is an opportunity for Malawian citizens to actively shape curricula that embodies our aspirations. We are therefore seeking input from Malawians from all walks of life to ensure that the curriculum is balanced, realistic and relevant to the needs and aspirations of Malawians through stakeholders’ consultation,” she said.
