THE Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (MoPSE) will next week start training data collectors as part of the 2023 curriculum review process for the next curriculum for primary and secondary schools.
The next curriculum, which will be used until 2030, will be an updated version of the one that was adopted during the past seven-year cycle.
Data collection is scheduled to start in May nationwide.
This was revealed at a media engagement workshop that was hosted by MoPSE in Darwendale in Mashonaland West today.
In a speech read on her behalf by Chief Director in the ministry Mr Cyprian Masocha, MoPSE Permanent Secretary, Mrs Tumisang Thabela, said the new curriculum will be an updated version of the current one.
She said it will be updated according to the societal, technological, educational and other changes that have emerged since 2015.
Also addressing the journalists, MoPSE consultant Dr Maroni Rumesu Nyikahadzoyi said the process will run in operation phases and that the training of data collectors, media engagement and the conduction of courtesy calls will be the first phase.
“The second phase will have data collected nationwide. Data collectors will do this through nationwide consultations by engaging teachers, learners, parents and many other stakeholders. Breakfast meetings will also be held at teachers’ colleges and the like as well as desk reviews which will see the noting down and addressing of current concerns,” he said.
Dr Nyikahadzoyi said the collected data will be put together and analysed.
“After all is said and done, we will enter the exit phase where we will deliver a curriculum review process report. Then we will come up with an updated curriculum framework which is our key deliverable,” he said.
