Definition
- Excellence refers to emphasizing specific curricular areas in hope of best ensuring economic growth and national unity. Excellence may be viewed through a variety of historical contexts, but is generally a reaction to schooling aims and practices that impair students' ability to compete in the local, national, or global marketplace, and strives for the development and transmission of national unity and civic literacy.
