Notes to Teachers Teaching the Programme

4
The new curriculum is drawn in unit courses. This is in keeping with the provisions of the National Policy on Education, which stress the
need to produce the curriculum in semester credit units which will enable a student who may so wish to transfer the units already completed
in an institution to another institution of similar standard.

In designing the units, the principles of the module system by product have been adopted; thus making each of the professional modules,
when completed, to provide the students with technical operative skills, which can be used for employment purposes.

As the success of the credit unit system depends on the articulation of programmes between the institutions and industry, the curriculum
content has been written in behavioural objectives, so that it can be quite clear to all, the expected behaviour of the student who has
successfully completed some or all of the courses of the programme.

There is a slight departure in the presentation of the performances based curriculum which require that the conditions under which the
performance are expected to be carried out, the teachers activities and the criteria for the acceptable levels of performance are stated. It is a
deliberate attempt to make the staff of the department teaching the programme to write their own curriculum stating the conditions existing in
their institution under which the performance would take place and to follow that with the criteria for determining an acceptable level of
performance. Departmental submissions on the final curriculum may, however, be vetted by the Academic Board of the institution.

It is our aim to continue to see to it that a solid internal evaluation system exists in each institution for ensuring minimum standard and quality
of education in the programmes offered throughout the Polytechnic system.

The teaching of the theory and practical work should, as mush as possible, be integrated. Practical exercise, especially those in professional
courses and laboratory work should not be taught in isolation from the theory.
