The Minister of Education told Parliament that a planned review of curricula and the organisation of the first and second cycles of basic education will be implemented in the 2027/28 school year. Key changes will include revised timetabled hours and closer integration of the 1st and 2nd cycles, with the government aiming to align curriculum content, assessment and pathways to qualifications. The announcement signals a significant policy reform requiring adjustments by schools, teachers and qualification bodies ahead of the 2027 rollout.
