ABSTRACT
The development of the micro-curriculum is not usually done by the Curriculum Committee, but by small teams of teachers or individual teachers responsible for the teaching of that specific course. In some types of curriculum very detailed guidelines might be developed by the Curriculum Committee for the micro-curriculum. For instance, in a problem-based curriculum the format to be followed for the paper problems will be standardized across all levels and subjects. In some countries, where a national qualification framework is in place, and all qualifications have to be registered in a specific format, the basic outline of a course might be very clearly prescribed by the registering authority. In more traditional curricula there might be less uniformity, and teachers might have more leeway in developing their course outlines.
