ELECTIVE COURSES
The Elective course selection is designed to allow students flexibility in completing their requirements for graduation. Electives may be chosen from a broad range of subjects; or students may choose to concentrate in one specialized area of the curriculum, for example, science or business education or motor mechanics.
Elective courses may be chosen from the four clusters in the compulsory category, provided such electives are over and above the compulsory credits, or from any other approved courses described in this course booklet.
Elective course selection will often depend on counselling from parents, teachers, guidance personnel, and administrators. Students who plan careers in engineering, for example, must have the appropriate courses on their graduation transcript which will allow them access to universities of their choice. A key consideration is to have students open as many education doors as possible. Student programs, therefore, should be flexible and adaptable.
PASS MARK
The pass mark for all courses at grade 9, 10, 11 and 12 levels is 60%.
