| description | Development has been, and is, a central concern for many countries
for the most part ofthe 20th Century. Over the decades, development
has taken a much wider and holistic approach. In 1999 the World
Bank introduced the Comprehensive Development Framework
(CDF) which stated that development should be viewed as a
multi-dimensional process that covered social, structural, human,
governance, environmental, economic and financial spheres. This
paper focuses on the role of education, more specifically on higher
education, in producing manpower who are not only skillful but at
the same time infused with the desired ethics and values needed
to achieve comprehensive development. It discusses the objectives
of education and provides an overview of the literature on
curriculum development. The discussion also looks at the Islamic
perspective of education since the more holistic, comprehensive
approach to development is congruent with the Islamic viewpoint
on development. The paper then presents a model of an integrated
curriculum structure that fulfils the Islamic objectives of higher
education while ensuring the various needs of the market are met.
The paper concludes with a discussion on the challenges that might
be faced in implementing the proposed curriculum and provides
some recommendations in improving existing curriculums to meet
the objectives of comprehensive development. |
