The best curriculum is not one based on a static body of knowledge. It is one that teaches students to cope with changes.

To what extent do you agree or disagree?

Everything in life is made to happen for making life easy. The end goal of each activity is to help man navigate his lifespan smoothly. In this regard, education also exists for training us in life. Since life is inconsistent, learning to deal with ups and downs is necessary. Nonetheless, stationary facts also have significance, and they should stay in tandem with educational dynamism in our curricula.

To begin with, the young are instructed in facts since primary school. They do become masters of retaining information and putting it to use in abstract or practical ways. However, as the domain of life is far bigger than its educational subset, most students are unable to tackle a downswing when it happens accidentally. This is precisely because children are not given lessons in it. For instance, a tragic death in the family sometimes snubs a learner so much that he becomes academically dull, too. Hence, if there were classes in the unreliable nature of life, learners would benefit a great deal.

That said, factual knowledge does not lose its importance at all. In an unstable life, too, the universal nature of many a phenomenon remains the same. To illustrate, whether you are happy or sad, water is going to boil at its boiling point. Thus, if you need such information on a fortunate or an unfortunate day, you have to have it in your brain.

In conclusion, making students accustomed to grappling with uncertainties is imperative. With this ability, they will be able to use the equally important traditional knowledge in any bright or banal phase of life.
