On the contrary , "this committee showed its weakness in the area of curricular issues like the committee was unable to create a means of getting financial support for its budget allocation , and the committee was unable to suggest the existing school curriculum or it couldn't make other groups to comment on the curriculum . Regardless of it's contribution , this committee had challenges in terms of low .motivation , lack of budget, shortage of support from school administration , committee's lack 6...of experience and in-service education . The recommendations for warded by the researcher include : -,he school curriculum committee needs. to be skilled and oriented about curricular. issues by the concerned parties .
