Make the next lesson a response to what you noticed today.

Preparing an activity, taking the register and listening to a learner explain are everyday teaching practices. For schools in Malawi, a Kurasa conversation begins with those practices and the syllabus your class is using.

Local context

Start with the curriculum in your classroom today.

The Malawi Institute of Education’s July 2025 Curriculum and Assessment Framework sets out a direction for curriculum reform, with competency-based primary syllabuses under development. Begin with the syllabus and guidance your school currently follows, and confirm any transition requirements for your level.

  • Bring your current syllabus, a scheme of work and the planning format teachers use.
  • Tell us the class level, teaching language and materials available for everyday activities.

Your curriculum, your teaching practice

National curriculum, IB or Cambridge.

We use your school’s national curriculum, International Baccalaureate (IB) or Cambridge International programme as the reference for planning, teaching and assessment. The programme, level, subjects and syllabus edition are agreed during setup.

National pathway

Malawi national curriculum · MIE syllabuses

Malawi Institute of Education (MIE). We use the MIE national syllabus and current guidance for your school level. Bring the scheme of work, lesson preparation and continuous assessment record, including any curriculum transition guidance the school is following.

National curriculum reference

IB pathway

International Baccalaureate (IB)

Use the IB programme your school teaches: PYP, MYP, DP or CP. Connect inquiry, unit planning, classroom activities, reflection and formative assessment to the programme’s requirements.

IB programmes

Cambridge pathway

Cambridge International · IGCSE

Use the Cambridge programme and syllabus for your stage: Cambridge Primary, Lower Secondary, IGCSE, or International AS & A Level. Plan by subject and syllabus, keep assessment evidence and prepare the next teaching step.

Cambridge programmes and qualifications

The classroom routine

Keep the activity and the assessment in the same routine.

Workspace brings lesson planning, attendance and formative evidence into one record. In a walkthrough, we explore that record against your curriculum and confirm the setup your school would need.

Prepare with what you have

Choose the learning focus and an activity using available materials. Note what you will ask pupils to explain or demonstrate.

Listen and observe

Take the register and notice who participates, how pupils attempt the activity and where another example is needed.

Plan the next opportunity

Keep a short continuous assessment note. Use it to prepare further practice, feedback or a different activity for the next school day.

Evidence from the lesson

A useful note tells the teacher what to do next.

In a first walkthrough, we could follow a reading or numeracy activity: the materials prepared, a pupil’s attempt, the feedback offered and the next opportunity to practise. Your teachers would choose the example from their current scheme of work.

Use the walkthrough to agree curriculum requirements, classroom setup and staff support before planning the first teaching cycle.

Implementation

Build the first routine around your teaching team.

  • Share the class level, current curriculum documents and any transition guidance the school is following.
  • Review planning and continuous assessment needs alongside teaching language, devices and connectivity.
  • Agree a first class, a staff practice session and a review after the first teaching cycle.

Practical details

Make room for the way your staff work.

Curriculum resources and questions

Planning your first step in Malawi.

Which curriculum version would we begin with?

The syllabus and official guidance your school currently uses. Share the documents for your level, including any reform or transition instructions, so we can review the curriculum mapping before confirming the setup.

What should we bring to a walkthrough?

A current curriculum document, a sample lesson plan and a description of the assessment records your staff keep. Use anonymised examples. Include your teaching language, class numbers and available devices in the enquiry.

Can a network or education programme start a discussion?

Yes. Tell us the schools and levels involved, who will support the teachers and the planning or assessment routine you want to work on. We will agree the scope and a suitable first phase with you.

Malawi

Start with an activity your teachers know well.

Tell us your class level, curriculum documents and how you currently keep lesson and assessment notes. We can use one familiar school day to shape a Malawi walkthrough.
