Ongoing Renewal of the School Curriculum

Schools can review and plan the curriculum in a holistic manner, and release space to varying degrees in order to cater for students’ diverse learning and developmental needs with due regard to each school’s own context and student needs. The lesson time released can facilitate schools’ provision of more diversified options for students, for example, enabling them to take an additional elective subject (including Applied Learning), engage in more in-depth study of subjects (based on the principle of optimising the SS core subjects, which is to create space for students and cater for learner diversity, we do not recommend that schools allocate the lesson time released to teach the core subjects), study the Extended Part (Module 1 (M1) / Module 2 (M2)) in parallel with the Compulsory Part of Mathematics, participate more actively in Other Learning Experiences (OLE) as well as life-wide learning activities, and engage in other personal pursuits to cater for their different interests, abilities and aspirations. Please refer to the respective webpages for the latest information of the core subjects:
