The targeted people were history teachers, the students, lecturers, parents and stakeholders in education systems and the administration. The curriculum is till the outcome of a fight and comprise. The study fully acquired that the changes that had been taking place in history curriculum lacked proper consultation especially to the expertise in history to air out their views in terms of content in the syllabus and themes which are being introduced.
