In an increasingly complex and uncertain world of the future and aligned with the emergence of Society 5.0, exploring alternative futures of education and the curricula in terms of fulfilling the mission of education systems is necessary. Therefore, this study set out to do foresight for the primary school curriculum in Iran. The study was conducted using the scenario planning method, which resulted in four alternative scenarios. The first scenario, called "The Magic School Bus" represents "curriculum as a personal roadmap." The second scenario, entitled "The Pursuit of Happyness" describes the "curriculum revival." The third scenario, named "The Ice Age" represents the "curriculum collapse." The fourth scenario, entitled "Dead Poets Society" narrates the situation of "curriculum in limbo." The findings showed that innovation comes from agency of players rather than impeccable structures and requires a transformation in perspectives about the educational aims in the digital era, as well as an increase in the authority and empowerment of schools. A key policy priority should thus be developing practical ideas for reshaping the curriculum and producing prototypes of future-proof educational models.
