"we want a standard, universal curriculum"
I don't want that.

There would still be the ability for students to choose their own subjects, focus more/less on certain subjects, learn different concepts within subjects, etc. And a lot of niche subjects and branches. Like it would be an incredibly massive curriculum, especially since you are designing one for >1million students. By "standard and universal" I mean that every student gets the same resources.
