In a modern educational thinking, people no longer really worry about the term. Its use has been engulfed in the umbrella term: curriculum. This notwithstanding, we need to know what syllabus means. The term syllabus generally refers to a list of topics or a collection or outline of what pupils or students should study in a given year or specified period of teaching.
