CURRICULUM CONTENT FOR THE FIRST 2 YEARS

Detailed objectives related to the content have been clustered under the following six Learning Areas which have then been coded, so as to facilitate the task of Teachers concerning the regular elaboration of a Work Record and also record students' performance and achievements.

Socialisation, patriotism, living values, understanding the human behaviour and civics will permeate the learning activities organised to develop those concepts.

METHODOLOGY FOR THE FIRST 2 YEARS 

Considering the conceptual framework of this approach, the teaching-learning process is mostly oriented towards the following:

• -        A holistic teaching approach,

• -        Learning through self-experience,

• -       Activity-based learning,

• -        Project work approach,

• -         Group activities,

• -        Peer learning,

• -       Learning on the field ,

• -        In-built remedial learning

MODE OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION.

A specific mode of assessment and reporting system based entirely on achievements and not mastery of prescribed syllabus has been devised within the perspective of this curriculum.  The conceptual framework of this new mode of student performance evaluation focuses on the following:

Achievement oriented approach.

Continuous assessment through the Student Learning Card.

Competency based system.

Competencies developed and knowledge acquired rather than relativity to what should be achieved.

Elimination of fixed time constraints for examination purposes in the first two years.

Reduced effect of language barrier in evaluation.

Competition free evaluation.

Provision for immediate remedial action.

In order to attain the above, and enable appropriate reporting on students work an evaluation matrix has been devised as follows:
