What to Expect in the Adopted A-Level Curriculum

The Ministry of Education and Sports, through the National Curriculum Development Centre
(NCDC), aligned the Advanced Level Curriculum with the competency-based Lower Secondary
Curriculum (LSC) to ensure a smooth learner transition from lower secondary to Advanced Level.
The two-year aligned Advanced Secondary Curriculum adopted learner-centered approaches,
inquiry-based, and discovery methods. The learning outcomes give the learner hands-on
experiences in real-life situations while being cognizant of different learner abilities and learning
styles. The syllabus focuses on assessment for learning with emphasis on criterion-referenced
assessment. It further provides learners with the opportunity to enhance the 21st-century skills
and values that were acquired at the lower secondary level.
