The purposes of this study are to suggest the establishment of the Curriculum Development Center (CDC) for more efficient curriculum development, and to explore the overall features of the procedure of curriculum revision based on the CDC. In order to achieve these purposes, the data of the previous English National Curriculums, and papers on the procedure of developing curriculum were reviewed. In this paper, it is proposed that the CDC should be established to revise the national curriculum based on the results of the groundwork research effectively. In the CDC, the problems with the current curriculum through interviews and surveys can be diagnosed and found, and the connectedness between primary and secondary school can be checked systematically. Furthermore, each phase of curriculum development is reviewed, which could provide procedural information about the national curriculum development and its application. In this respect, the phases of the curriculum (analysis - design - development - experiment - evaluation - revise - application) are suggested in developing the English National Curriculum.
