A Guide to the Soviet Curriculum (1988) surveys the syllabuses for schoolchildren in the Soviet education system following the reforms of 1984. Every subject in the common timetable is covered, and teaching methods, hopes for the future and continuing controversies are discussed. All this is set in the broader context of curriculum philosophy and of the social and moral purposes of Soviet education; the implicit or hidden curriculum is also considered.
