PrepExIf an essay is about what schools should teach, can 'curriculum' and 'syllabus' replace each other? An example where one fits better would help.

They overlap, but 'curriculum' often means the wider programme of study. 'Syllabus' often means the topics or content for a course. So 'the school curriculum' and 'the chemistry syllabus' are useful starting examples.

So adding a new subject to school would usually be a curriculum change?
