The Ministry of Basic and Senior Secondary Schools (MBSSE) has introduced an innovative curriculum for Senior Secondary Schools. This new curriculum includes the incorporation of interactive subjects aimed at facilitating significant growth across various areas for the students.
In a video on social media several teachers elaborated on the depth of the new curriculum, emphasizing its significance for children’s development.
According to a teacher, the curriculum is meticulously crafted to furnish students with contemporary 21st-century skills, enabling them to become proactive and engaged citizens. She highlighted that this approach empowers learners to select areas aligned with their interests and talents, fostering the development of their human capital.
eachers and educators emphasize the transformative impact of the new curriculum, which aims to contribute to Sierra Leone’s social and economic growth. They highlight its essential role in shaping the curriculum alongside the learners.
The uniqueness of the curriculum lies in its comprehensive approach, offering access to various aspects for children’s education. Unlike the previous system with limited streams, this curriculum provides specialized streams to ensure each child has a focused learning path.
Newly introduced subjects expand beyond the old syllabus, promoting deeper understanding and practical application. The emphasis on practical work in addition to theoretical learning encourages widespread implementation and talent exploration, fostering radical inclusion across the nation.
The curriculum introduces applied subjects like Biotechnology, analytical chemistry, and biochemistry, enabling students to diversify their learning and move beyond narrow career paths. Teachers foresee an increase in civil, mechanical, and electrical engineers due to the curriculum’s emphasis on practical physics applications in everyday life.
When this one will happen in sierra leone?
I feel like going back to school. This is great
Our teachers are not equipped for most of these subjects.
This is a very laudable move my the ministry of education. Indeed Maada Bio is poised on transforming our educational systems for the better and to enable the product of our school s be competitive not only in Africa but also beyond. However in all these achievements key attention must be paid to teachers. The must be given the required trainings that will impact positively on their delivery to students. For the Sciences, I think labs of most of these SSS schools must be given face lifts and be provided with workable equipment that can enhance students practical understanding of the subjects. This among the many other challenges that should be handled in the educational sectors and within schools themselves make the prospect and future of education in S/L brighter
One major problem in Sierra Leone , Sierra Leonean are very good at talking ,but very poor in implementation. We never do what we say, lmplementation and supervision is our greatest problem
