Introduction

The curriculum is changeable, it is a tool that varies over time and adapts to the circumstances surrounding it, the curriculum must also evolve and improve, but with this constantly changing and may never be perfect to develop a curriculum, which is why the various disciplines ever become perfect, because for better or worse the curriculum is constantly changing, redefining the foundations, pillars and diagrams of different disciplines.
