In 1999 an integrated curriculum was developed for Jamaican primary schools. This study clarified the conception of integration within the curriculum (grades 1-3).

The bureaucratic approach to curriculum development in Kenyan primary and secondary school curricula need to be reconsidered if student and teacher engagement in Learning and Teaching are to improve.

The propositions presented in this short draft only act to play a part in the conversation about the role of teachers in their teaching. Should the most important stakeholders (teachers and students) remain barely as consumers in the curriculum processes or should the process be rethought to find an agreeable means of involving them from the beginning of curriculum conceptualization to its realization and ultimate evaluation?
