What are they trying to encourage? seriously. just learn the
basics in pri and sec school then go on and decide what you wana do
from there on. I totally see no purpose in this new sec sch.
they will still learn the basics, those are add on
but the method see the website also a bit diff
At the lower secondary levels, the
SST adopts an integrated approach to learning while providing a
firm foundation for upper secondary levels. For example, Geography
and History subjects are integrated and offered as new subject,
World Issues : A Singapore Perspective. Students studying a topic
on terrorism will be able to view it from both the geographical and
historical perspectives and hence gain a deepen understanding of
national, regional and global issues.
The integrated approach draws
learning from the different disciplines and allows the students to
view issues from multiple perspectives, thus engendering the
creative mindset. Integrating various disciplines makes the
relationships between the components explicit and blurs their
boundaries. This prepares students for life and work in the
21st Century.
