Senior School STEM pathway opens 161 subject combinations for Grade 10 students

The STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) pathway is at the core of modern innovation. Under the Competency-Based Education (CBE), it fosters future scientists, engineers, agripreneurs, data analysts, and builders by integrating practical, technical, and academic disciplines.

The pathway is subdivided into three robust tracks: Pure Sciences, Applied Sciences, and Technical Studies—each designed to equip learners with specific, real-world competencies.

Across the 161 options available in STEM, learners are empowered to move seamlessly from theory into action, making them ready for careers in health, engineering, environmental science, ICT, and technical innovation. With this level of depth and variety, STEM under CBE is not just preparing students for exams—but for national development.
