What do we mean by curriculum?

AAll the experiences which students get in school ✓ Correct
BSubjects that are transferred by the faculty
CThe syllabus prescribed for the course
DClass experiences, sports and games
Correct answer: (A) All the experiences which students get in school
Explanation

Curriculum means all the experiences that students get in school, both inside and outside the classroom.

This broad view includes co-curricular activities, values and the hidden curriculum, not merely academic content.

Option B, subjects transferred by faculty, reduces curriculum to teaching a fixed body of subjects.

Option C, the prescribed syllabus, names only the outline of topics for a course, which is narrower than curriculum.

Option D lists class experiences, sports and games but omits the totality of school experiences.

The word curriculum comes from the Latin currere, to run, meaning the course to be run in education.
