SEC 3 SUBJECT COMBINATION EXERCISE
Objectives of Sec 3
Subject Combination Exercise
• To offer subject combinations that develop students' potential, based on their interest and ability in learning the subject.
• To meet students’ post-secondary aspirations.• To identify the subjects that are relevant for the students’
