Teachers’ evaluation of; integrity, clarity, and convenience criteria was acceptable to some extent, whereas the modernity criteria was poorly evaluated. Furthermore, teachers and students responses differ regarding the extent to which the faculties of education curricula are in accordance with the integrity and modernity criteria. On the other hand, no differences exist among participants regarding the fact that the faculties of education curricula meet the clarity and convenience criteria. In the students’ point of view, the scientific resources shortage and the lack of modern teaching techniques are among the most crucial problems. On the lecturers’ side, the lack of interest in study from students is among the most crucial problems.
