Are students free to offer any subject and subject level combinations under Full SBB?
Under Full SBB, students have greater flexibility to customise their learning according to their strengths, interests and learning needs.
Throughout secondary education, students may offer compulsory subjects (i.e., English Language, Mother Tongue Language, Humanities, Mathematics and Science) at a more or less demanding level if they meet the eligibility criteria and in consultation with their school.
At the upper secondary level, all students will offer at least 5 and up to 7 examinable subjects. They may offer upper secondary elective subjects at subject levels that suit their strengths, interests and post-secondary aspirations. The school will also decide on upper secondary subject and subject level offerings based on considerations such as resourcing and timetabling. The school will continue to advise students on upper secondary subject and subject level combinations based on holistic considerations, including students' learning progress and development needs, and post-secondary pathways.
