In all educational systems, educators and students are subject to the institution's ideology, which in turn responds to local, regional, and global demands. The majority of educational systems share elements that are connected to a number of different factors, including the fast-paced evolution of media, kids' technological and communication skills, and new teaching methods and resources. In general, the scientific, positivistic worldview led to the development of educational policies and practices that place a significant emphasis on cognitive learning, where learning outcomes can be measured objectively with the accumulation of information, skills, and competences. These techniques are still in use today, and it is clear that kids in elementary or secondary education do not have the opportunity to learn in subjects that foster imagination and creativity, which is a problem brought on by the framework of a packed curriculum.Since the reader develops an emotional attachment to the tale and this has favorable consequences on both the reader's personal development and the entire learning process, literature plays a significant part in children's personal development. Present paper studies the importance of literature in school curriculum.
