A nation should require all of its students to study the same national curriculum until they enter college.
A uniform curriculum for all the students of a nation prior to college may not be beneficial in all circumstances. A major factor that determines its efficacy is the flexibility that the curriculum offers.
The following paragraphs describe how a uniform curriculum might benefit the nation and its populace.
It can be assumed that students graduating a certain class meet a standard bar in terms of knowledge in different subjects as opposed to different curriculae prescribing their own textbooks and examination patterns, thus setting different standards for students of a given level.
It would be easier to manage admissions to colleges of higher education as students can report scores that are uniform. This would not be possible if students had studied different subject material, which would then warrant a standardized test for admissions to colleges.
From an administration perspective, it might be easier for the government or the governing body to roll out scholarships, conduct examinations, abolish corruption, and provide free education to students enrolled in the public or private schools that deliver the national curriculum. This could also translate to potential savings for the exchequer which could be useful be used for other purposes of national interest.
On a side note, having schools that teach the same subject matter means that the teachers could move between different parts of the country with minimal friction by not having to face tedious interviews.
However, it is not all whistles and bells for a single national curriculum. The following are the various shortcomings of this policy.
If the policy does not account for flexibility, it may not allow students to pursue subjects of their interest. Assuming that flexible course options are a rarity until college, the national committee deciding on the curriculum should be wary of the flexible course options. One such option would be inclusion of endemic languages in the curriculum.
The national curriculum could be easier to certain students with greater mettle than the national average and may be tougher to students from certain geographies with limited economic activity. The curriculum should be cognizant of such differences and should be accomodating and should make way for special provisions wherever applicable.
Other minor issues such as uniform testing practices and test timings could pose challenges to the test administration body.
I would not completely favor the uniform curriculum without the details of the flexibilities it has in place.
