CURRICULAM
Professor Cummingham defined curriculam as a "tool in the hands of the teacher to mould his pupils according to his ideas". Curriculum is the most important component of the educative process. It is meaningless to talk of how to teach and when to teach ithout first deciding what to teach. The curriculum acts as a pivot in organizing educational effort on some manageable basis. Curriculum is undoubtedly the heart of the school and all that goes in the school is implied in curriculum. It is flexible, it is not rigid and static. It is dynamic and every growing. It changes constantly with the changing needs and ideals and goals of society.
