  5. Curriculum The educational philosophy that informs choices such as 1. What subject fields are to be included [e.g. will religious studies form part of the national curriculum for secondary schools? Universities?] 2. What are the goals of education generally, and of any particular field of studies? [to lead to employment? toinculcate civic attitudes? to create a democratic approach to society?] 3. What beliefs about learning underlie the educational structures of the region? [status of teachers? role ofparents? role of employer? rights or powers of children?] and so forth.

  13. Envoi … What we call the beginning is often the end And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from. ... Every phrase and every sentence is an end and a beginning, Every poem an epitaph. … We shall not cease from exploration And the end of all our exploring Will be to arrive where we started And know the place for the first time. T.S. Eliot, The Four Quartets Note: “end” means both “finish” and “goal” or “aim”.
