What does the Basic Education Core Curriculum 2008 actually contain, and how much room does it leave schools?
It sets standards, indicators, time allotments and evaluation criteria, and lets schools add to them according to their own priorities.
The 2008 document from Thailand's Ministry of Education sets out the vision, goals, learners' significant capacities, desired characteristics and attributes, learning standards and relevant indicators, the time allotted to each subject area for each grade level, and the evaluation criteria. These give schools orientation and guidance for preparing the curriculum for each level of education. The document also leaves room for schools to amplify it in line with their own priorities and readiness.
