5 Foreword The decision to improve the curriculum for standard I was a result of government plan to develop the skills of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic (3Rs). This plan has taken into account results from different researches that show that some pupils complete primary school without acquiring the 3Rs skills. This syllabus focuses on building the capacity of teachers to help pupils to develop their skills in the 3Rs and it has been prepared taking into consideration the primary school curriculum for Standard I and II of The curriculum emphasizes the use of learner-centered teaching and learning approaches and the phonics approach in learning how to read. The content of this syllabus is organised into the competences of Reading, Writing and Arithmetic, Health and Hygiene, Environmental Education, Sports and Games, and Fine and Performing Arts. This syllabus is supposed to be implemented as directed. However, schools have the opportunity of taking into account their school contexts when planning and implementing the syllabus. It is important to make sure that pupils get the recommended number of lessons for each major skill as indicated in the syllabus for Standard I and II. Moreover, assessment will be done with consideration of the set standards of performance. Therefore, all teachers and non-teaching staff in schools have the responsibility of ensuring that this syllabus is implemented successfully and all pupils get equal opportunities in the learning process. It is my expectation that pupils will develop the intended competencies. Prof. Eustella Bhalalusesa Commissioner of Education Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Vocational Training v
