This guide intends to provide important information on how curriculum panels are conducted in order to enhance curriculum development and implementation for effective provision of quality education in schools and colleges. Its content focuses on the meaning, types, procedures, legitimacy, roles, and leadership of curriculum panels. Moreover, dissemination, feedback and recommendations on het gathered information, linkages among panels and guide amendment procedures are clearly addressed in this guide.
