The West African Examinations Council has announced the introduction of 39 new subjects in its examinations. The
Council’s Acting Head, Test Development Division, Mrs. Olayinka
Ajibade, who announced this, said the new subjects would commence in
this year’s May/June West African Senior School Certificate Examination.
In the new
curriculum, four new subjects- Computer Studies, Insurance, Store
Management and Office Practice- are in the electives category, while the
remaining 35 subjects are in the Trades category. Among
subjects in the trade category are Painting and Decorating,
Photography, Salesmanship, Plumbing and Pipe Fitting, and Upholstery. Students
would be required to take four core subjects, comprising English
Language, General Mathematics, Civic Education and Trade/
Entrepreneurial Studies. The
candidates would be required to choose three or four subjects from
Humanities, Science, Technology and Business Studies depending on their
potential and interest.
Do you think it is a good initiative to revise the curriculum and introduce new subjects ? Does this address today's challenges
