Abstract
Curriculum change is the core of education development. Tracing the history of education development in the 20th century, most of the large-scale worldwide educational changes began with curriculum. Since the 1980s, the new trend of systematic curriculum change across the world has impelled curriculum reform to develop from incremental reform to restructuring and system-wide changes, and from fixing mere parts to fixing the entire system.
