Key changes

Some secondary schools are allowed to offer new GCE ‘O’ Level subjects in addition to or in place of an elective subject. They may choose from the range of subjects offered by the Cambridge International Examinations group of ‘O’ Level syllabuses. Some possible subjects include Economics, Computer Studies and Drama.

In time, schools may develop new subjects in their curriculum niche areas or partner with recognised post-secondary educational institutions to develop new GCE ‘O’ Level subjects.

Why are we doing this?

To give our students more choices in what they study.
To enable schools to set up curriculum niches of their own.
