Who Should Make Decisions on the Curriculum, the government or the teacher?

One of the debatable issuesdebates over education is that who is should be responsible for the arrangement of curriculum. Some argue that teachers should decide,  on what to teach while others believe it is up to the government.
On the one hand, government plays an very important role in the development of education, especially in a large developing country such as China. It is the government that decides the principles and formulates the general plans for the development of education, and it is also the responsibility of the government to decide what needs to be taught, since the government has a thorough understanding of the requirements of the society. Without the support of the government, issues such as funding and the organization of the education system can could not be guaranteed under the particular situations of China. It is not hard to conclude that The government is the founding father of the modern education system of China, given the poor schooling basis of the Chinese society.
On the other hand, as the education develops quickly in China, teachers are playing an more indispensable partrole in the teaching system. Thousands of experienced scholars and well-educated youngsters young people are devoted to the teaching careers. They have experience in the classroom and they know what students need to learn and how they can learn happily and effectively. So teachers have a right to decide what to teach and how to teach to a certain degree, because they are the ones involved in the fieldwork of teaching. Thus, for the further development of modern education and better arrangement of curriculum, teachers should be included in the deciding panel decision process.
I personally think that The two opinions over the decision-making of the about curriculum are not mutually exclusive. And actually they are both necessary for a successful education system. While the government is responsible for creating a favorable macro environment for the schooling curriculum, teachers should have more power on decisions of the curriculums for about what to be taught and how to teach it in the classroom.
In conclusion, the government and the teacher should cooperate to make more feasible and meaningful curriculums curricula for the better education of the younger generation.
