H.F.L.E. Curriculum Document 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.
