The comparative analysis was conducted taking into consideration the following conceptual elements: 1) world philosophies, 2) educational philosophies, 3) theories of learning, 4) curriculum ideologies, 5) teacher and student roles, and 5) evaluation. Each of the previously mentioned aspects is contrasted against excerpts from the school curriculum. One of the significant findings in this analysis sheds light on how a curriculum might be designed as part of a marketing system to target clients. Moreover, this analysis suggests a syllabus that best suits the curriculum, which claims to be a humanist and constructivist model. Finally, this article is of interest to coordinators, principals, and researchers who work in the area of curriculum design.
