A scheme of work is a professional document designed to outline the topics to be addressed within a specified timeframe. Typically, educators prepare a scheme of work to encompass the material intended for a single term. However, it is equally feasible to formulate a comprehensive plan covering an entire academic year.

Consequently, it compels teachers to make concerted efforts to recover any missed lessons, thereby ensuring the syllabus is completed within the designated timeframe.

The scheme of work enables educators to systematically partition the annual syllabus requirements for a particular subject and class, ensuring that all prescribed content is thoroughly covered by the end of the academic year.
