Co-curricular activities

Co-curricular activities can be integrated in education because they're very helpful to students in maintaining a holistic education, expressing their interests and talents. Co-curricular activities clubs and societies, sports, uniformed groups, visual and performing-arts groups, advocacy, personal-care, innovation, research-methodology and current-affairs groups.
 
Preschool

A preschool, also known as nursery school, pre-primary school, play school or creche, is an educational establishment or learning space offering early childhood education to children before they begin compulsory education at primary school. It may be publicly or privately operated, and may be subsidized from public funds. Curriculum development at the preschool level is based on several schools of thought. The Kindergarten was established by Friedrich Fröbel in Germany in 1837.
 
Primary education

Curriculum development at the primary level focuses on the foundations of subjects, covering subject disciplines, knowledge skills and character development. Primary education or elementary education is typically the first stage of formal education, coming after preschool/kindergarten and before secondary school. Primary education takes place in primary schools, elementary schools, or first schools and middle schools, depending on the location.
 
Secondary education
 
Curriculum development varies at the secondary level, based on the course (or stream) in which a student is enrolled. Secondary education or post-primary education covers two phases on the International Standard Classification of Education scale. Level 2 or lower secondary education (less commonly junior secondary education) is considered the second and final phase of basic education, and level 3 upper secondary education or senior secondary education is the stage before tertiary education. Curriculum in secondary focuses on core subjects such as language, mathematics, science and the humanities.
 
Tertiary education

Curriculum at the tertiary education level involves specific course design and development. Griffith University describes planning as based on previously-collected evidence; the process also involves assessment, technologically-informed learning and discipline-based capabilities. The process aims to prepare students for the workforce while enhancing their understanding of a subject. Griffith University considers four key elements in curriculum development: learning analytics, external peer review, peer-based professional learning and professional learning workshops.
