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.
