    Syllabus refers to the outline of topics that will be covered in a specific subject, while curriculum encompasses the broader scope of the overall program of education, including knowledge, skills, and lessons. A syllabus provides guidance for teachers and students on what will be learned in a subject for a fixed term, usually a year, while a curriculum prescribed by the school administration dictates the overall education until course completion. Key differences between the two include that a syllabus can vary between teachers but a curriculum is uniform, and a syllabus is descriptive whereas a curriculum is prescriptive.
