The 'whole curriculum' involves the selection of educational objectives, content, evaluation and teaching methods - The selected aims should correspond to the expectations of all parties interested: pupils, parents, teachers and the society. Curriculum development includes also structure designing (subject-based or integrated curriculum), provision of balance and articulation of elements, definition of the range of studies and of the degree of freedom for the pupils' choice (nature of optional courses), associated to good quality educational guidance. Curriculum planning should be a continuous, practical and collaborative activity, leading to flexible timetabling. In the adoption of innovations the teacher role is crucial. He must be helped by various external agencies (teacher colleges, teacher centres) to face the extended responsibilities.
