We cannot question the importance of a functional syllabus in quality instruction. It plays a major role in graduating quality and world class professionals. Unfortunately, not a good number of teachers know how to prepare one. I have this funny and equally sad experience that when teachers are asked to prepare a syllabus, they either ask a prepared syllabus from book companies of the textbook they intend to use or write one based on the lessons of the book that they have ordered and to be used for the in-coming school year.
The teacher or group of teachers in a disicipline should prepare the syllabus themselves based on the minimum learning competencies set by the Dept. of Education and the learning continuum of the education ministry of the congregation (in the case of private sectarian schools). Only then can instruction be truly considered a reflection of the Vision-Mission statements of the school.
