Spiral Curriculum & Assessment

At Al Qalam Education Centre we support students by providing skilled teachers who can mentor students to use various memorisation techniques. Teachers assess each student's memorisation capability and gradually increase targets to improve memorisation capacity.

We understand that students need to not only be supported to memorise but on retaining what they have memorised from the Holy Qur'an. Taking a spiral approach, teachers will assign an individualised memorisation and revision portion to be tested in each lesson.
