Abstract:
This paper set to determine the role of parents’ teachers association (PTA) in
curriculum transformation. It all started from discussing what the curriculum really is, the
historical point of view of the curriculum as well as the reflection of the curriculum ideologies.
The curriculum was defined as "the construction of memory," or the way a nation's citizens
conceive and give shape to their knowledge of the past and present. Some of the specifics of this
description will be included in the body of this paper. the opinions of several nations, including
China, Spain, and the United States of America (USA), about curricular reform. In a similar
spirit, curriculum, curriculum-based instructions, and curriculum transformation—including
establishing the objectives and purpose, implementing the curriculum, and monitoring and
assessing curriculum and instruction programs—are all part of the parents' teachers association's
(PTA) management of secondary schools in Kenya. The main tenets for directing curriculum
change were also mentioned; the goal is to inspire students to pursue their chosen courses of
study and to take charge of the school life they want to lead; it builds on past achievements to
advance the established advantages of the school community through the influence of Bath
research and placements, among other things. The author listed some noteworthy contributions
to curriculum reform that the parents' teachers association (PTA) should take into account. It
was suggested that in order to make the school Parents Teachers Association (PTA) more
effective in managing and administering their duties, the Nigerian Ministry of Education should
create pertinent policies.
