The study adopted a qualitative case study research approach and purposely selected four teachers, representatives of students, and parents, and in the case of availability, principals participated in collecting primary data through interviews and FGD. Document reviews and observations were also conducted to collect the data.

The findings of the study imply opportunities, critical challenges, and directions for further improvement of the curriculum in case schools. According to the major findings of the study, there were some good opportunities in case schools, such as students and teachers with similar backgrounds in the case of first language or cultural aspects, existence teachers, and school principals according to the standard of qualification status of middle education and the availability of basic school facilities, even if there were utilization issues.
