Fawzia al Khater, Assistant Undersecretary for Educational Affairs at the Ministry of Education and Higher Education, has called on the academic and administrative officials in state schools to prepare for the implementation of the new education system for high schools.
The new system has three streams — scientific, literary and technological — for high school students. The new system will be implemented for Grades 11 and 12 from next school year.
Students can choose any of them according to their wishes starting from the eleventh grade.
There are four basic subjects in the literary track — English, Physical Education, Islamic Education and Life Skills — and five specialised subjects — History, Geography, Mathematics, Arabic, General Mathematics and Science.
As for the scientific track, the students will have five specialised subjects — Arabic language, Mathematics, Chemistry, Biology and Physics.
They will also have Islamic Education, Scientific Research, English Language, and Physical Education.
In case of technological track, the students will have to study five mandatory subjects: Algorithms, Programming, Communication Technology, Networks, Mathematics and Arabic, as well as four common subjects.
Other optional materials will be selected for all students, who can choose any of the subjects studied in Grades 11 and 12 -- Philosophy, Psychology, Computer Science, Visual Arts, Geology, Sociology, Differentiation and Integration.
Fawzia said the Ministry of Education and Higher Education is working to bring in more teachers for the technological track, which will be implemented starting next year.
“Since the technological stream is new to schools, there are not enough teachers in this field,” she said.
