This situation is likely to lead to a potential distortion in approved curriculum policy at district or provincial level and school level curriculum implementation.

Through a research and development approach and qualitative and qualitative approach taking into account the results of pre-survey that were conducted at district level. Then, a hypothetical model of district curriculum management has been invented, and designed on the basis of capacity development planning for education at district level model. The model is called Development Plan of Curriculum Management Model (DPCMM). Findings show that the hypothetical DPCMM model has positive effects on district strategic plan. The proposed theory is that DPCMM is an education district curriculum planning, implementing, and evaluation model with vast effects on instructional processes at school level. Its dimension comprises planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling all sub systems of curriculum management, including organizational structure, human resources, funding, transparency, and the culture of accountability. The implication of study is that education district level curriculum management is crucial and seemingly puts a high priority on the students’ needs, transparency, accountability, and participation.
