• A syllabus is an outline of a specific course.
• It includes the topics to be covered, their order, often the required and suggested reading material, and any other relevant information.
• A curriculum refers to all the courses offered in a specific program.
• It is a complete set of taught material in a school system.
• Curriculum prescribes the objectives while, the syllabus describes the means to achieve them.
• Hence curriculum is prescriptive while syllabus is descriptive.

Hence, we conclude that both statements are true about syllabus
