May almighty Allah’s bestow blessings and mercy be upon Mohammad (PBUH), the messenger of Allah, and the messenger’s companions and household. The messenger personified his life as a curriculum throughout his life through the exemplary conduct and behaviours. During the year 1979, the government of the Maldives strategized to mainstream the primary school education of the Maldives which led to the development of the first syllabi for grades 1 to 5 in the Maldives in 1980, followed by a revision in 1982.The first National Curriculum for primary grades 1 to 5 was crafted and implemented in 1984. A further revision was initiated in 1997 and completed in the year 2000.In 2006, when a second revision of the first curriculum was discussed, it was understood that the curriculum needs changes in accordance to the development achieved by the country. To address the changes a decision was made to reform the first curriculum to incorporate and address the needs and demands of the country. The second national curriculum is developed based on the changes that have taken place in the society, from practices of the past to the current needs, with a vision for a better tomorrow. The eight competencies addressed in the curriculum are practicing Islam, self-management, critical thinking, creative thinking, human relations, healthy life styles, sustainable practices and ICT literacy. Further, through the use of variety of teaching learning approaches where students are engaged in meaningful learning experiences, the curriculum intends to produce students who possess the 21st century skills, and are healthy both physically and spiritually, to be responsible towards the progression of the Maldivian society. The Business Studies subject is connected to the daily life of human beings. In a turbulent business environment where economy is constantly changing, the subject opens young children minds to critically think about the world around them and it also provide rich context to make informed decision in their daily life and studies. Key Stage 3 Combined Business Studies focuses on enabling the students to acquire knowledge, skills and attitudes so as to develop an informed and critical understanding of, business environment and to understand key economic issues faced in every economy. It also intends to cultivate humane and responsible attitudes and an appreciation of the world in accordance with Islamic principles and values. I hereby take this opportunity to extend my sincere gratitude and heartfelt appreciation to each and every individual for the tireless effort, commitment and dedication in developing the National Curriculum Framework and this syllabus. I pray almighty Allah to bless them for their commitment and contribution. Last but not least, it is my sincere hope that this syllabus be beneficial for the students and teachers in the Republic of Maldives. Deputy Minister of Education Ministry of Education
