You may further notice that the dependent clause started the sentence but you can reverse that by saying The curriculum has been designed to meet the workplace standard through the guiding standard of this school.

wonderful moves! There is an announcement about these upcoming events next week. We better submit all the requirements before that deadline is announced. Why are those people looking at us? Hi. May I borrow this notebook for a while? These books are almost sold out when I arrived at the bookstore. I am glad that that lesson was given this morning. Which do you think is more difficult these lessons or that subject? I have been to so many places and I have never seen that kind of mammal. I think it would be acceptable to all if we give this special number about Ati-Atihan dance. I now understand many English grammar principles because that teacher encouraged me to read these books. Can you imagine how they may have reacted if she did not show up this morning with complete attire? She could have been axed that did not happen! Now it is too easy for me to learn this principle about demonstratives because of these exercises.
