Subject Combination Guidelines

 
Overview of the subject combination guidelines:

 

The document provides guidance on the recommended subject combinations in the new Senior High School (SHS), Senior High Technical School (SHTS), and STEM curriculum.

It outlines the minimum and maximum number of subjects for external assessments, mandatory subjects, and learning areas for JHS graduates entering SHSs, SHTSs, and STEM schools.

Learners can exit with a minimum of 7 subjects and a maximum of 9 subjects to be externally assessed through the WASSCE.

Learners may study additional subjects only in year one or up to year two.  The additional subjects will be assessed internally and the results captured in the transcripts.

It is recommended that the heads of SHS, SHTS and STEM contextualise the implementation of the subject-combination guidelines.

 

  • Note: The selection of the learning areas and the subject combination are dependent on the individual school’s capacity (resources) and focus areas.
