Some form of Mathematics is compulsory for all students and students are now required to take either Mathematics or Mathematical Literacy.

MATHEMATICAL LITERACY

Mathematical Literacy as a subject is offered as an alternative to Mathematics.   Mathematical Literacy follows a problem-centred and real-life approach.  In Mathematical Literacy, the learner will be equipped with knowledge and skills that can be applied in everyday situations.

It is important to understand that Mathematics and Mathematical Literacy are two different subjects and the curricula for these subjects have not been designed to allow movement between the two subjects.
