What is the differences between overt curriculum and hidden curriculum?

The overt curriculum refers to the formal educational content and objectives explicitly outlined in a school's syllabus, including subjects taught, learning goals, and assessment methods. In contrast, the hidden curriculum encompasses the implicit values, norms, and expectations that students learn through the school environment and culture, such as social behaviors, attitudes towards authority, and peer interactions. While the overt curriculum is intentionally designed and communicated, the hidden curriculum often shapes students' experiences and learning in subtle, unspoken ways.
