6.1.3 Curriculum development provides an opportunity for institutionalising a systemic approach to learning. It aims at integrating the recognition of the needs for learning, the ways in which learning is organised and delivered, and the way in which learning is monitored and evaluated within a particular context of location, values and beliefs.
