A need analysis for curriculum expansion
· Pointing out the need
There are several factors that are leading to the need of expansion of the curriculum. Of these, the most important is overpopulation which is experienced by several countries (Rodder,2018). It tends to slow down any economic development of a country. Aside that, the agricultural sector experience some straining as they try to attend to the overpopulation, in turn there is food shortage experienced and unemployment cases also tend to rise. For this therefore, there is a need for population education whose main aim would be to lower the large sized families. It’s possible that the overpopulation was bought by the lack of knowledge on ways of controlling birth rate, population education not being available in remote areas for youth who stopped schooling and also the disadvantages of having a very large family.
· Population education analysis
Although population education has been added in secondary curriculum, the youths living in rural areas are unable to access the information as only a small percentage are able to attend classroom lessons (Weng,2019). Population education need would therefore be necessary to help rural youths point out the dangers of having a large family and how they can prevent having those large families.
