Abstract: Curriculum reform has emerged as a central concern in educational discourse worldwide due to rapid socio-economic changes, globalization, and evolving learner needs. Quality education is no longer defined solely by access and enrollment but by relevance, inclusivity, effectiveness, and learner outcomes. Curriculum reform plays a pivotal role in enhancing educational quality by reshaping knowledge structures, pedagogical approaches, assessment practices, and learner engagement. This research article critically examines the concept of curriculum reform, its theoretical foundations, objectives, and its contribution to improving educational quality. Drawing upon global and national policy perspectives, the study explores how curriculum reform addresses issues of equity, relevance, learner-centeredness, and skill development. The article also analyzes challenges in curriculum implementation and suggests strategies for sustainable reform. The study concludes that curriculum reform, when thoughtfully designed and effectively implemented, acts as a powerful instrument for improving educational quality and fostering holistic learner development.
