  • Hidden Curriculum: How Ideological Bias Shapes Education

Hidden curriculum refers to the unspoken values, beliefs, and perspectives that are transmitted through the educational system. These values often shape students’ understanding of the world and their place in it. In many cases, these values are not explicitly taught but are subtly woven into the fabric of the curriculum. One example of this is the way history is taught. Textbooks and lesson plans often present a particular interpretation of historical events, potentially omitting or downplaying certain perspectives. This can lead to a skewed understanding of the past and its impact on the present. Another example is the way certain subjects are emphasized over others. The curriculum may prioritize subjects that align with specific ideologies, while neglecting those that challenge or contradict them. This can create an uneven playing field for students, limiting their exposure to diverse perspectives and knowledge.
