New K-12 Curriculum
This new curriculum is a 12-year program which gives students enough time to master skills. Through this program, it is expected that most graduates are aged 18 and above and are already legal for employment.
Kindergarten is mandatory for five-year-old children and is a requirement to be admitted to Grade 1. This continues until Grade 12, hence the acronym "K-12".
The curriculum gives students the chance to choose among three tracks (Academic; Technical-Vocational-Livelihood; Sports; and Arts and Design) where students must undergo immersion, exposing them to relevant experiences and skills needed in their chosen track.
