Comments

1. The education system will be more of research, community engagement, projects with fewer contents.

2. Computer Literacy is one of the major focus of this programme as all educational stakeholders must be in good position to provide adequate I.T. facilities for students 

3. Science at the basic level comprises physical and applied science which involves more of demonstrative features. It is sectioned into the following:

    Diversity of matter

    Cycle 

    System 

    Forces and Energy 

    Human and Environment 

It is then necessary for all educational heads to recruit more skilled and qualified science persons to run the programme as fewer concepts in the Senor High School syllabus have been pushed down to prepare students for their electives in Senor High School two.
