ABSTRACT
For all teachers a study of the concept ‘curriculum’ is essential to a study of education itself. If we had begun the present book with an analysis of curriculum, we would have covered the same ground as we have covered by starting from education. The reason for this is that curriculum implies ‘content’, ‘aims’, ‘training’, ‘worthwhileness’, and ‘culture’, all of which we have considered. In addition, a study of curriculum raises other issues – liberal education, freedom, authority, which we shall meet in later chapters.
