Abstract:
Literature shows that many curriculum reforms in higher education institutions
fail because curriculum change sponsors fail to identify and plan effectively and proactively to
deal with barriers to curriculum change as well as to harness enablers. One such critical reason
why curriculum change sponsors such as academic middle managers fail to adequately plan to
effectively deal with challenges to curriculum change as well as to maximize on the opportunities
provided by enablers to successful curriculum change has been shown in literature as lack of
knowledge. The above claim is further supported in other researches which show that for the
majority of curriculum users, their understanding of curriculum and curriculum change is still at
neophyte stage. This study therefore, supported by literature, wishes to lay claim to the fact that
there are as many enablers as there are challenges to successful curriculum change in higher
education which academic middle managers (AMMs) can take note of when planning as well as
implementing curriculum change. In laying the foundation for this claim, this study examines the
various enablers and challenges to successful curriculum change in higher education.
