Things have changed a bit in the educational sector and learners are starting to specialize for their A Level right from O level. The Learning Areas are Sciences, Mathematics, Arts and Commercials
For one to study A Level mathematics, she or he has to study and pass 'Pure Mathematics' at O Level. Pure mathematics is like the old additional mathematics at O level and introduces some Basic A Level topics to prepare learners for A Level mathematics. The same goes with statistics, history and all other subjects
The new curriculum emphasizes on 7 compulsory subjects at A Level (which are not considered for A Level) and these are English, General Mathematics, Combined science, Indeginous Language, Heritage Studies, Physical Education and Agriculture.
One cannot take sciences at A Level even if he or she passes Combined Science. In other words, it's like Intergrated Science.
MATHEMATICS COMBINATION
One can specialize in Mathematics subjects only

MATHEMATICS COMBINATION
One can specialize in Mathematics subjects only
- Pure Mathematics
- Statistics, and
- Mechanics
These can be studied as separate subjects and they are no longer considered as one subject like in the old curriculum.
This also imply that one has to study all these subjects at O Level adding to 7 compulsory subjects listed above
SCIENCES
The sciences subjects in new curriculum are
- Biology
- Chemistry
- Physics
- Geography
- Computer Science
However, one can take Pure Mathematics/Statistics/Mechanics and other two learning areas listed above
COMMERCIALS
Commercials learning areas are
- Economics
- Business Studies
- Accounting
You can also take Pure Mathematics/Statistics and add to your combination of three subjects. NB: O Level Commerce might not be considered for A Level learning areas
ARTS
learning areas for Arts are
- History
- English Literature
- Indeginous Languages
- Family and Religious Studies
Be careful when choosing your learning areas at Form 3 not to mix the arts and sciences or commercial learning areas except in combinations where it's suitable
