The biggest challenge of today's education quality is to recognize the difference between learning and accepting; children start their study but do not understand it properly and then forget the difference between how they learn and how much duration of time they take to learn. So to bridge this gap and educate those students in the right way is a challenge facing the department.

How do you strategize the curriculum and how often does it get updated to make it befitting for the students?

As faculty, we should strategize the curriculum in a formative and summative way using ongoing feedback from students. So it will be easy to improve the technique of teaching.
