Thank you, Madam Chair. So one of the things that distinguishes a competency-based curriculum from what would typically or more traditionally be an outcomes-based curriculum is it's centered on the learner as opposed to the teacher or the instructor, and it tends to be not so content focused. So those who have been in school before will recall that the curriculum is really focused on subjects and content and facts and dates, if you're thinking about social studies as an example, whereas competency-based curriculum is really around what skills and attitude and behaviour that you would expect to see from students, and that is really more focused on self-directed learning and skills that would be beneficial for all of life and that are more cross-curricular in terms of not being focused on one subject area. So that is the major distinction between competency- versus outcome-based curriculum. Thank you, Madam Chair.
