Curriculum Committee
The purpose of the Curriculum Committee is to ensure the biology curriculum at all educational stages is as relevant as possible and prepares students for their next steps in life – whether they go on to study biology at university, use biology in a related career, or use their biology knowledge as non-scientist citizens of the 21st century.
The Curriculum Committee's terms of reference are to:
- develop the Society's content criteria for biology qualifications.
- consider and provide guidance and information on appropriate assessment models for biology qualifications.
- advise on the Society's responses to external consultations on curriculum, qualification, and assessment matters.
- advise on the biology content of related science qualifications.
- advise the Society's ESP Committee on any matters associated with the biology curriculum.
