The series IBE Working Papers on Curriculum Issues is intended to share interim results of
ongoing research and to increase access to a range of unpublished documents, reports and
exploratory studies produced at UNESCO-IBE, by IBE partnersor members of the IBE
network on curriculum development. These Working Papers are disseminated to a wide
audience of both academic and non-academic people and institutions for purposes of
information and discussion. Also, they give education and policy stakeholders the
opportunity to make use of a “work in progress” in a timely manner. They have been
approved for circulation by UNESCO-IBE buttypically have not been formally edited or
peer reviewed. Therefore, feedback on these documents is warmly encouraged.
