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

We'd need the context. It can work for a particular course. If you mean what schools teach more broadly, 'part of the school curriculum' makes that clearer.

For example, 'Schools should teach students how to compare loan costs.' Is that clearer than only saying they should improve the curriculum?
