Those documents exist but are very hard to find.   The curriculum for Ecole
Fondamentale, grades 1 to 9 was published during the Jean Claude Duvalier
Government.   They are not re-issued.   I have never seen a high school
document.
I think that the reform of the 80's did not get that far.   Since then the
department of Education has been barely functional, taking care of exams
registration and administration, and fees to be paid to the government by
private
schools.   In 1994 there was a large meeting of Haitian educators called "Etats

Generaux de l'Education".   They may have come out with a document but not a
curriculum.
The curriculum plan is really an outline.   It is not strictly followed.
For example it says that during the first 3 years of school children should get

4 hours of French as a second language a week, and the rest should be in
Creole.   Go ask for a second or third grade schedule, and in most schools you
will
find that there are 3 hours of French per day:   Grammaire, Orthographe,
Lecture.
What subject are you interested in?   What grades?
