Tasks and Projects Received In Schools

The tasks and projects for Form 3's and Lower Six have been received in many schools. There is no turning back on the new curriculum as schools are now fulfilling the requirements of the new curriculum.

Many private colleges have been insisting that new curriculum is still a pipe dream but the Ministry has exhibited its commitment to the promises made since last year. Workshops on how teachers will handle the task are almost done.

If you were contemplating to continue sending your child to an unregistered college or school, it's time you consider either to chose between Cambridge IGCSE or join the government or registered schools for the new curriculum.

Only recognized teachers will facilitate the whole process of coursework and submit the learners files for considerations to the exam board. The ministry set the minimum requirements for the teacher professional standards (tps) which is the pillar for the new curriculum. 

This means a student must register the seven compulsory subjects and other subjects that will determine A Level learning areas. The core subjects are 

1. English Language 

2. General Mathematics 

3. Combined Science 

4. Indigenous Languages 

5. Heritage Studies 

6. Agriculture 

7. Physical Education

However, these will not determine the A Level learning areas and general mathematics and combined science are not a pre-requisite to A Level Pure Mathematics and Pure Sciences. For one to study A Level Pure Mathematics or Statistics he or she must start at form 3 with expected pre-requisites.

Some of the subjects at O Level that will determine A Level learning areas are 

1. Pure Mathematics 

2. Statistics

3. Biology

4. Physics 

5. Chemistry

6. History 

7. Geography (now a science subject) 

The new curriculum emphasis On psychomotor skills and life skills that will form a strong basis for entrepreneurship in the long run. Although some were criticizing the new curriculum, the appearance and emphasis is a great deal for the future generations.
