What are the Competences? Competences are integrated systems of knowledge, skills, attitudes, values and beliefs developed through formal (and non-formal) education that allow individuals to become responsible and autonomous persons, able to solve a diversity of problems and perform in everyday life-settings at the quality level expressed by the standards. The Kuwait National Curriculum operates with three types of competences: key competences general competences specific competences.
What are the Key Competences? key competences(NON-SUBJECT specific / CROSS CURRICULAR ) represent a transferable, multifunctional package (system) of knowledge, skills, values, attitudes, beliefs, and personal/social attributes that all individuals need to acquire for their personal development, inclusion and employment (i.e. for being successful in their personal and social life, as well as in their professional career). key competences are supposed to be achieved by the end of the Secondary Education period. They are cross-curricular (i.e. non- subject specific), transferable and multifunctional competences so that, in principle, all subjects can/should contribute to their development.
What are the General Competences? As compared to the key competences General competences are subject-specific. They define the most general subject-based knowledge, skills and attitudes/values embedded/integrated in students expected outcomes by the end of Grade 12.
What are the Specific Competences? The specific competences are structured and developed in students during a school year. As compared to the General Competences: Specific Competences define more specific systems of integrated knowledge, skills and attitudes/values. They can even cover specialized, topic-based competences students are supposed to display by the end of each grade. The specific competences are clustered in the following four dimensions: A range of realities specific to the subject (knowledge); A range of operations (skills and strategies) A range of personal and social responses (attitudes, values) A range of connections with other subjects and domains.
What are the Standards? Standards are statements about What is valued IN LEARNING. They describe expectations and are used to judge the level of performance in a field or domain. An operational decision, requirement or regulation related to the quality level to be achieved by a certain aspect of the education system , (in our case, student s learning) Standards are the WHAT of education while curriculum and instruction are the HOW.

The measurement of the performance standards is a matter of different forms of national assessments.(MESA) Curriculum standards Curriculum standards They refer to the quality level to be achieved by students in attaining the specific competences. Curriculum standards describe to what extent the specific competences should be achieved by the end of each grade. In the Kuwait Curriculum, curriculum standards are related to specific competences defined in the subject curriculum. Curriculum standards are a matter of school- and class-based formative and summative assessment.
