FOREWORD

The new Primary Health and Family Life Education Curriculum represents a paradigm shift from its predecessor. Unlike the old Curriculum which was biased toward the acquisition of knowledge, the new document focuses on the development of Life Skills for psycho-social competence. Students are expected to acquire these skills through guided learning experiences both within and outside the classroom.

The document targets issues related to four (4) thematic areas as mandated by UNICEF in conjunction with the CARICOM Secretariat.

These thematic areas are:-

• Self and Interpersonal Relationships

• Sexuality and Sexual Health

• Eating and Fitness and

• Managing the Environment.

These four (4) themes will allow teachers to target the overarching theme which is Health and Wellness.

This Curriculum Guide is laid out in three (3) parts which deal with the Curriculum Foundations, the Curriculum Content and the Course Outlines in that order. The Course Outlines are organized in the following three (3) levels:-

• Level One – Infants Years One and Two.

• Level Two – Standards One, Two and Three.

• Level Three – Standards Four and Five.

i

Opportunities are provided for teachers to explore a range of pedagogical approaches and alternative forms of assessment designed to facilitate the delivery and assessment of the Health and Family Life Education Programme.

Teachers have been trained to implement the curriculum in school-based and regional workshops. It is expected that their experiences, together with this Curriculum Guide will make possible the positive behaviour change manifested through individual and collective social action.

INTRODUCTION

The decision to review, revise and re-design the Primary Health and Family Life Education (H.F.L.E.) Curriculum had its genesis in the 1996 Agreement signed by the Standing Committee of Ministers of Education and Health. At this meeting they re-affirmed their commitment to the strengthening of H.F.L.E. among CARICOM member states. This agreement gave birth to the CARICOM Multi-agency H.F.L.E. Project. This UNICEF led initiative was designed to reach completion through three distinct phases:-

Phase I - Development of national H.F.L.E. policies.

Phase II - Development of country H.F.L.E. curricula.

Phase III - Training of teachers and production of resource materials.

By Cabinet Minute No. 1401-2001/16/03 the Government of Trinidad and Tobago approved the National H.F.L.E. Policy. This document was produced by an interim National H.F.L.E. Committee which included:-

( The Curriculum Officer responsible for H.F.L.E.

( A UNICEF appointed consultant.

( Representatives of the: -

• Ministry of Education.

• Ministry of Health.

• Pan American Health Organisation (P.A.H.O.).

• Family Planning Association (F.P.A.).

• National Parent Teachers Association (N.P.T.A.).

• University of the West Indies (U.W.I.).

• Trinidad and Tobago Unified Teachers Association (TTUTA).

• Inter-Religious Organization.

Introduction (continued)

The National H.F.L.E. Policy speaks to, inter alia, the institutionalisation of H.F.L.E. as a key component of the core curriculum throughout all levels of the education system in Trinidad and Tobago.

The revised Primary H.F.L.E. Curriculum represents a significant paradigm shift. Unlike its predecessor which focussed heavily on knowledge, the new curriculum has been designed for emphasis on the teaching of valuable life skills as well as imparting knowledge and assisting pupils in acquiring proper attitudes, morals and values.

It is hoped that the revised H.F.L.E. Curriculum will give teachers the capacity to provide culturally relevant, gender-sensitive and high quality experiences for our children. These will assist them in becoming psycho-socially competent and closer to that notion of the Ideal Caribbean Person.

PART ONE:

CURRICULUM FOUNDATIONS

PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION

The philosophical statements found in the Education Policy Paper 1993-2003 are the foundation for the HFLE Curriculum. The curriculum is based on all the philosophical statements found therein.

• That every child has an inherent right to an education which will enhance the development of maximum capability regardless of gender, ethnic, economic, social or religious background.

• That every child has the ability to learn, and that we must build on this positive assumption.

• That every child has an inalienable right to an education which facilitates the achievement of personal goals and the fulfilment of obligations to society.

• That education is fundamental to the overall development of Trinidad and Tobago.

• That a system of ‘heavily subsidized’ and universal education up to age 16 is the greatest safeguard of the freedom of our people and is the best guarantee of their social, political and economic well-being at his stage in our development.

• That the educational system of Trinidad and Tobago must endeavour to develop a spiritually, morally, physically, intellectually and emotionally sound individual. That ethical and moral concerns are central to human development and survival. Fundamental constructs such as “decency,” “justice,” “respect,” “kindness,” “equality,” “love,” “honesty” and “sensitivity” are major determinants of the survival of our multi-cultural society.

• That the parent and the home have a major responsibility for the welfare of the child and that the well-being of the child can best be served by a strong partnership between the community and the school.

• That the educational system must provide curricular arrangements and choices that ensure that cultural, ethnic, class and gender needs are appropriately addressed.

• That students vary in natural ability and that schools therefore should provide, for all students, programmes which are adapted to varying abilities and which provide opportunities to develop differing personal and socially useful talents.

Philosophy of Education (continued)

• That we must be alert to new research and development in all fields of human learning and to the implications of these developments for more effective teaching and school improvement.

• That the educational system must be served by professionals who share and are guided in their operations by a set of systematic and incisive understandings, beliefs and values about education in general and its relationship to the development of the national community of Trinidad and Tobago.

• That there is a need to create and sustain a humanized and democratized system of education for the survival of our democracy.

• That the democratization and humanization of the educational system are largely contingent on the degree to which the system is professionalized. The nature of educational problems is such that the professional core must be engaged in decision-making with respect to the problems that affect their expert delivery of the services to the clientele and ultimately to Trinidad and Tobago. Professionals must come to experience a real sense of ‘control and ownership’ of matters educational.

• That from a psychological perspective, education is a means of looking out beyond the boundaries of the immediate. It can be the viable means which creates individuals with the intellect and capacity to develop and lead societies, communities, villages and/or neighbourhoods and families of the future. It should be responsible to and stimulate the searing human spirit and the emphatic quest for human communication, interaction, love and trust.

• That learning is cumulative and that every stage in the educational process is as important and critical for the learner’s development as what has gone before tit and what is to come. As such we must view educational programming and development in the round, recognizing the importance of every rung on the ladder of delivery by intensifying our efforts throughout the system.

CURRICULUM UNDERPINNINGS

The philosophy and nature of knowledge, the society and culture, the learner and learning theories are curriculum foundations. These underpinnings significantly influence the goals. objectives, teaching/learning strategies and expected outcomes of the programme. The HFLE Curriculum is designed in a behaviour change model to address the challenges of life. Its Life Skills approach is intended to give learners practical experiences which will equip them with the life skills so much needed in today’s society, to ensure that they can cope with life’s challenges and become responsible, contributing members of society.

The Life Skills approach takes its roots in the theories of:-

➢ child and adolescent development;

➢ social learning;

➢ problem solving;

➢ problem behaviour;

➢ social influence;

➢ cognitive problem solving;

➢ multiple intelligence;

➢ risk and resiliency.

Drawing from these theories, the approach is one which attempts to bring authentic experiences into the classroom thereby engaging learners in a programme which places great emphasis on the development and execution of life skills through social action. Its highly interactive nature is meant to provide teachers with strategies which will engage learners of all learning styles.

VISION

The H.F.L.E. Curriculum will strengthen the capacity of teachers to provide high quality, culturally relevant, gender and ethnic-sensitive experiences using a skills-based approach so that pupils may acquire knowledge, skills, attitudes and values to make life-sustaining choices that will result in healthy and productive lifestyles and demonstrate appropriate social action which will support their holistic development.

RATIONALE

Our society is experiencing accelerating social changes, many of which are impacting negatively on our children and youth who are ill-equipped to cope effectively with these environmental changes. The children and youth of our nation are affected by a number of social, psychological and physical problems. Among the major concerns in Trinidad and Tobago are poverty, teenage pregnancy, juvenile delinquency, HIV / AIDS, substance abuse,, child abuse and neglect, violence, inadequate recreational facilities, lifestyle related diseases and the negative influence of the media and new sub-cultures.

As a result of this the H.F.L.E. sectors are advocating that a formal H.F.L.E. Curriculum be the thrust to empower our children and youth with the necessary life skills they need to overcome these social ills.

The H.F.L.E. Programme, according to the Draft National Policy on H.F.L.E. for the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, should be planned, comprehensive, life-skills based, child-centred and promote an understanding of the principles which underlie social and personal well-being and foster the development of the competencies and attitudes that make for healthy social and family life.

Accordingly, there is need for the implementation of an H.F.L.E. Curriculum with the impetus for positive social action as the major end product resulting from the acquisition of knowledge, values, attitudes and life skills.

PART TWO:
