In the Competency-Based Education (CBE) system, subject combination in Senior School is designed to give learners flexibility while nurturing their talents, interests, and career pathways. Unlike the traditional system where all learners studied the same subjects, the CBE system allows students to choose subjects based on their strengths and future aspirations.

Senior School subject combinations are organized into pathways such as Arts and Sports Science, Social Sciences, and STEM. Learners select subjects from these pathways while also undertaking compulsory learning areas that build core competencies, values, and life skills.

The purpose of subject combination in Senior School is to promote personalized learning, reduce unnecessary academic pressure, and prepare learners for higher education, training, and the world of work. This approach ensures that each learner develops relevant skills, creativity, and problem-solving abilities aligned with real-life needs.

Overall, subject combination under the CBE system supports holistic education by recognizing that learners are gifted differently and should be guided along pathways where they can thrive.
