H.F.L.E. Curriculum Document
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.
