9.3.2 Who Evaluates the Curriculum?

The curriculum can be evaluated by a hired professional evaluator, a consultant or qualified personnel from the Ministry of Education. Whether it is a consultant or Ministry personnel, the evaluator should be:

• an educator;
• competent in statistics, methods of observation, constructing questionnaires and conducting interviews;
• confident, precise and able to communicate effectively, and
• able to create a conducive working atmosphere with assistants

If a curriculum evaluation is to be successful at the school level, it must receive the support of the community, management, staff and students of the school.
