I am interested in knowing how the students are to be trained in mathematics and what are the fundamental building blocks of any good national level curriculum that must be implemented at a national level.
Please do share model curriculum that you feel are the best and your views on what skills are essential and how they should be developed.
Dear Colleagues,
Good Day,
The following instructional strategies increase student self-efficacy:
• Reviewing lesson accomplishments from the previous day, posting
the current lesson’s objectives prior to instruction, drawing attention
to the lesson objectives as they are covered, and reviewing the lesson
objectives at the end of the lesson.
• Asking students to record each day on a calendar something new
they learned that day or something at which they excelled.
• Prompting students who perform poorly to attribute their failures to
lack of effort and encouraging them to try harder.
• Drawing students’ attention to their growth and complimenting them
on their specific skills.
• Using student models early to demonstrate some aspects of a lesson
to remind them that other students like themselves are mastering the
material and therefore they can master it also.

This is a good question.
The short answer for the training part: Join a small study group that meets every other day early in the morning (before classes start) and early one the morning during the weekend. Small = 2 or 3.
The short answer for the curriculum part: Include a generous selection of theorems to be proved and a variety of problems to be solved for each topic. The theorems should include classical theorems such as the Borsuk-Ulam theorem. The problems should be graded (elementary, intermediate, advanced) and cover every aspect of each topic.

Mastery in mathematics requires teaching numeracy skills, which give people more control in their daily lives through, more informed management of household or small enterprises, allowing more effective participation in communities and understanding many collective issues with an ability to make sense of financial and other quantitative information.
