thoroughly. Essentialism ensures that the accumulated wisdom of our civilization as
taught in the traditional academic disciplines is passed on from teacher to student.
Perennialism believes that the focus of education should be the ideas that have
lasted over centuries. They believe the ideas are as relevant and meaningful today
as when they were written. They recommend that students learn from reading and
analysing the works by history's finest thinkers and writers.
Progressivism believes that individuality, progress, and change are fundamental to
one's education. Believing that people learn best from what they consider most
relevant to their lives, progressivists centre their curricula on the needs, experiences,
interests, and abilities of students.

full moral excellence to better serve society. The curricular emphasis is subject

their interactions with their peers
