Curriculum for secondary schools

Starting from the 2024 Secondary 1 cohort, the Normal (Technical), Normal (Academic) and Express streams will be removed. Under Full Subject-Based Banding (Full SBB), students will be posted to secondary schools through Posting Groups 1, 2 and 3 instead, and have greater flexibility to offer subjects at different subject levels as they progress through secondary school.
Schools offering Full SBBSchools with specialised curriculumSyllabus
 

Schools that only admit students from one Posting Group, such as those that offer the Integrated Programme or Crest Secondary School and Spectra Secondary School, will not be able to implement Full SBB as they offer a whole-school approach to implementing specialised programmes, designed to cater to specific student profiles. Nonetheless, selected aspects of Full SBB such as subject-level flexibility, may apply to some of these schools where feasible.

Visit the microsite to learn more about Full SBB.

There are a variety of school-specific opportunities in secondary schools. Learn more about these opportunities and whether your child is eligible for them.
