The primary goal of curriculum reforms like the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) and the Kerala Curriculum Framework (KCF) is to modernize education. These reforms aim to move beyond rote learning and focus on developing essential skills that students need to succeed in the modern world. This includes:
Learner-centered education: Shifting the focus from the teacher to the student, promoting active learning and critical thinking.
21st-century skills: Emphasizing skills like problem-solving, creativity, communication, and collaboration.
Contextual learning: Making education relevant to students' lives and local contexts, rather than relying solely on abstract, decontextualized information.
