What is Curriculum?
A curriculum describes what the student is expected to learn and what sort of skills or behavior the student should obtain. A curriculum is designed by the government or educational institution, and therefore it is same for all teachers and lasts the whole course.
It also explains what is offered by the school, and includes lessons, assignments, projects, study material and exams among others.

What are curriculum goals?
Curriculum goals explain what students should know and understand.
Learning objectives are connected to curriculum goals. However, unlike learning objectives, the curriculum goals are more extensive and less clear.
What are learning outcomes?
Learning outcomes include the knowledge that students are meant to learn. For example, after the course, what sort of information should be remembered, what kind of behavior should be exhibited, or what sort of skills should be owned? What is essential for them to be able to do?
An example of a learning outcome is: Students recognize and name the animals which are shown on the infographic.
What is a syllabus?
A syllabus is a guide to both the teachers and the students. It explains the subject in detail and why it is important for the students to learn. The syllabus contains the information about what is expected from the student (such as assignments, projects and exams) as well as general rules and instructions.
A syllabus varies from teacher to teacher, and is set for a specific subject. It typically changes after a certain amount of time, for example a year.
What is a teaching program?
A teaching program is a tool for teachers and students to make the most use of their time. The teaching programs are created based upon the needs of the students along with the demands of the curriculum.
A good teaching program should be flexible, to ensure the students can give their evaluation of the material and learn accordingly.
What are objectives?
Learning objectives explain the material that will be covered in class, whereas learning outcomes focus on what the student will specifically know how to do at the end of the course. Learning objectives are less specific and explicit for narrowing down expectations for the students. However, they do outline what skills should be acquired, without commenting on whether or not that will happen.
