Abstract: | Following the endorsement of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) in 2012, an ambitious plan was launched with the aim of putting theory into practice. Built upon the National Minimum Curriculum (2000), it addressed the gaps in Malta’s learning processes where emphasis shifted from teaching the subject to teaching the learner. The National Minimum Curriculum framework took important policy-related documents issued by the European Commission into consideration. These included the Key Competences for Lifelong learning – A European Reference Framework (included in the annex of the Recommendations; 2006/962/EC); the Strategic Framework for European Cooperation in Education and Training (ET 2020; 2009) and Europe 2020 – A Strategy for Smart Sustainable and Inclusive Growth (COM (2010) 2020) which is the follow up to the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs (Memo 06/478/12 Dec 2006). Against the background of Malta’s historical development and on the basis of the curriculum and EU documentation the NCF seeks to provide strategic direction by rationalising the necessary changes and their implications for area/subject content, pedagogies and assessment. The NCF was presented within a lifelong learning perspective and celebrates diversity by catering for all learners at each stage of their education. It aims to introduce more equity and decentralisation in the national system. The NCF seeks to present a seamless curriculum which reflects smooth transitions, building and extending on the firm foundations in early childhood education. In essence, the NCF aims to provide a quality education for all learners, reducing the percentage of early school leavers and encouraging their enrolment in further and higher education. |
