Gozzer, Giovanni
Prospects, v20 n1 p9-19 1990
Explores how curricular changes reflect modernization and its attendant social problems. Examines influences of decentralized and centralized systems, and degree of national identity, on curriculum development. Considers types of new subjects (e.g., anti-drug education) and the risks of overloading curricula with subjects of a relatively transitory nature. Favors the restoration of education's original functions. (CH)
